Morgan died on April 16, 1951 in Oakland, California. His interment, Oakland, California. ~ ~ ~ ~ HIS BIOGRAPHY: Linton Morgan is a well known and well established realtor of Vallejo and is police judge in and for that city, as well as local representative of the federal government in the operation of the affairs of the housing corporation. He is a native of Idaho and was reared in the state of Arizona, where he obtained his initial schooling, and he is a resident of California by choice and inclination, having found conditions here very much to his liking. Mr. Morgan was born in Preston, Idaho, September 21, 1890, and is a son of John and Mary (Linton) Morgan, the former of whom, now deceased, was for many years a prominent figure in educational circles in that state and in Utah. Linton Morgan went to Washington, D. C, when he was about twenty years of age, and there he attended the Georgetown University and later the George Washington Law School. He early became trained for secretarial service and was for some time engaged in Washington as assistant secretary to United States Senator Wolcott of Delaware. Later he was attached to the staff of the secretary of labor and in that department of the federal government's activities rendered service as an assistant to the secretary until 1920, when he was sent to Vallejo as the representative of the department and was made manager of the housing corporation's operations here, a position he still occupies. Upon taking up his residence here Mr. Morgan also embarked in the local realty business and has built up a flourishing connection along that line. In 1925 he was appointed to act as city judge, and he is thus now serving in a dual public capacity. In 1917, at Salt Lake City, Utah, Linton Morgan was united in marriage to Miss Eudora Eggertsen of that state, and they have three children, Dixie, Meline, and John W. Mr. Morgan is a Democrat and is an active and influential member of the Vallejo Kiwanis Club. He also is affiliated with the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks, the Improved Order of Red Men and the Fraternal Order of Eagles. [Hunt, Marguerite, and Harry Lawrence Gunn. History of Solano County, California. Chicago: S.J. Clarke Publishing Company, 1926.] ~ ~ ~ ~ Linton was the oldest son of John Morgan and his third wife Mary Ann Linton Morgan. John Morgan died when Linton was three, his brother Harold two, and youngest son Mathias was six weeks old. Mary Ann moved with the three boys to live with her parents in Nephi, Utah. When Lin was twelve years old, his mother remarried David King Udall and moved to the St. Johns, Arizona, area where he and his two younger brothers were raised among the many sons of the Udall family. Linton Morgan attended Brigham Young High School in Provo, Utah. He graduated in 1912. When Lin was about 20 years old, he moved to Washington, D.C., where he attended Georgetown University and later George Washington Law School. When he was 26, he married 22 year old Eudora Eggertsen in the Temple in Salt Lake City, Utah. She graduated from Brigham Young High School in 1913, the year after Linton. After his schooling, as explained in his obituary, he took a job with the Department of Labor in Washington, D.C., and in 1920 was sent to Vallejo, California, as head of the U.S. Housing Administration there. When he left that position, he practiced law in Nevada and then returned to California where he established a real estate sales business. Linton died in 1951 in Oakland. His wife Eudora died in 1982.

She was a member of the BYH Peppettes during the 1930-1931 school year. ~ ~ ~ ~ Marie Morgan married David T. Vincent. ~ ~ ~ ~ Author: A Family Album: a Memoir of Andrew B. Morgan and Vivian Rees Morgan, by Marie Morgan Vincent, a granddaughter of Alfred Rees and Emma David Rees. ~ ~ ~ ~ My mother, Vivian Rees Morgan, was born April 15, 1885, at Spanish Fork, Utah. Her mother was 45 years of age. My mother was a twin. The boy was stillborn. When mother was about 83 years of age, I prevailed upon her to tell us her Welsh stories to be recorded on tape. She hesitated to do so, but with coaxing, she finally relented. Besides her famous Welsh stories, she told about her childhood and her mother and father. I have transcribed this history but would like to further elaborate on it. Mother’s oldest sister, Ann Rees Burt, died from diabetes when mother was very small leaving three young boys. Grandmother and Grandfather Rees took these boys into their home to care for them. As these children took a lot of Grandmother’s time, Mother said she felt displaced by these boys in the home with her mother. Consequently, she leaned toward her father and oldest sister, Elizabeth and her husband, Daniel King. She spent a great deal of time with Lizzie and Dan in their home. She also told of spending time with her sister, Hannah, in Eureka, Utah, as she grew up. She attended school in Spanish Fork through the eighth grade and when a young lady attended the Brigham Young Academy in Provo. She took classes in drama and elocution. Mother said she did not work in the millinery shop when she was young, but did the work at home. She tells of making bread when she was so young she had to stand on a stool. In 1900 the first telephone exchange was established by the Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone. Mother’s stint as a telephone operator is recorded in the history of Spanish Fork City on the Rio de Aguas Calientes. “A new switchboard was installed at the office of The Rocky Mountain Bell Company and night service was begun. The operators were Mrs. Mary Rickers (mother’s sister), Miss Vivian Rees, and Miss Ethel Morgan (Daddy’s sister). These girls not only handled any minor repairs that were necessary, but took care of the batteries which provided the current. Women also cleared any outside trouble on the line. They were usually provided with a horse and buggy, and they always carried a stiff fishing pole with them. Since most of the trouble consisted of crossed wires or a tree limb having fallen on the line, the fishing pole was used to uncross the wires or remove the limbs. All of the telephones were of the magneto type, crank instruments that operated on a single wire grounded circuit. To reach the operator the caller turned the crank which generated enough electricity to send the signal to central. Then a call was completed. The crank was turned again in order to signal the operator to “take down” the connection. The operators knew everybody’s number, so telephone directories were not needed (there really weren’t that many subscribers). Calls were usually made by name, not by number. The telephone operator was not an impersonal voice, but usually became a close friend of the telephone users. [Excerpt]

Bob was born on March 20, 1928 in Provo, Utah to Vivian Rees and Judge Andrew B. Morgan. He was the youngest of five children. He attended Brigham Young High School, where he played football, basketball, and baseball. His charming personality made him a friend to all and he was elected as class president of his freshman, sophomore and junior classes and student body president his senior year. Bob graduated in the BYH Class of 1946. Bob attended college at University of Utah, and then following his two older brothers, Wendell and John into medicine, he enrolled in medical school at the University of Southern California. On February 2, 1951, during his first year of medical school, he married Lois Burch, his high school sweetheart, who at the time was studying nursing at the University of Utah. The US government instituted a "doctor draft" during and after the Korean War. After graduating from medical school, Bob enlisted in the Air Force and the young family spent two years at the Mountain Home Idaho Air Force Base. He was a captain and one of the medical officers on the base. Upon his return to Southern California, he entered a surgical residency at Los Angeles County Hospital. Wendell and John referred many cases to him as he began his practice. Later, Bob and Lois moved to Paradise, California to raise their family. There Bob joined the Paradise Community Park Medical Center where he made lifelong friends. He became Chief of Staff at the Feather River hospital and worked there until his retirement. Bob and Lois also lived in Chico, California, in a walnut orchard in Durham, California, and eventually retired to Rocklin, California and Midway, Utah. They were married for 69 years. As a devoted member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Bob gave generously of his time and talents to church service. Callings included ward and stake missionary, Bishop, and Stake President. In his senior years, he and Lois were called to serve in the California Roseville Mission Office, a calling they thoroughly enjoyed. The missionaries kept Bob young at heart and he always had a twinkle in his eye when he spoke of his missionary service. What brought Bob real joy was golfing, skiing, traveling, and watching football. He and Lois belonged to the Ski Bees Group for 35 years. He retired from skiing at the age of 84. He loved the simple yet complex nature of the game of golf. He spent much of his retired life chasing the elusive feeling of a well struck shot and enjoying time with friends and family on the fairways. In order to better serve the neighboring mountain communities that didn't have a surgeon, Bob also obtained his private pilot's license. He enjoyed flying and owned several airplanes. Bob and Lois traveled the world over, visiting Europe, Africa, Asia, South America, and Antarctica. In the fall, one could always find Bob supporting his alma mater by wearing his USC cap and watching his beloved Trojans play football. Guests would occasionally remark that watching him passionately cheer on his team was more entertaining than watching the actual game. Bob is preceded in death by his wife Lois, his parents, his siblings Bertram, Wendell, Marie and John and his eldest son, Paul Andrew Morgan. Bob is survived by five of his children and their spouses, Christopher and Stephanie Thomas Morgan, Richard and Leona Gima Morgan, Craig and Cinda Burton Morgan, Diedre Morgan and Mark Roberts, Pamela Morgan and Adam Alexander, grandchildren Andrew, Ian, Eric, Alexander, Connor, Drew, Cage, Kimberly, James, Bradley, Marissa, Bryce, Landon, Kiera, Matilda, Sage, Nolan, Jenner, Quinn, Eden, Summer, and Grace, and great-grandchildren, Carson, Caitlin, Owen, Rhett, Emma, Navy, June, Bridge, Isla, Niall, Scarlett, Bradford, Greyson, Sloane, Jaky, Aaliyah, and Elizabeth. Bob was a tremendous leader--full of integrity in his personal and professional life. He was a great example to us all, and is now reunited with his one true love, Lois. Rest in peace, our Father, and our Friend. And Dad, "Fight On'. Source 1 Source 2, March 15, 2023. ~ ~ ~ ~ HIS WIFE'S OBITUARY: Lois Burch Morgan ~ 1930-2020. Lois Burch Morgan passed away at her home Saturday morning, April 25th, 2020. She was born on Friday, June 20th, 1930, in the front room of their Gothic Revival family home at 33 North 600 West in Provo, to Pearl Estella Bradford Burch and William Hilton Burch. She was the last of seven children including Dean, Hilton, Garth, Fae, Bill, and George. Lois was a “daddy’s girl” sitting on her father’s knee at dinner time because there were no more available chairs. She was also highly independent and, at age 11, she walked downtown to Heindselman’s and took their knitting class. She then came home and taught her mother to knit. While attending BY Elementary School, Lois was busy candling eggs and preparing them for sale in the family poultry business. Lois attended Franklin Junior High and BY High, where she excelled academically, and was involved in multiple activities, including serving as the yearbook editor and a member of the Sub-Debs. Lois graduated in the BY High Class of 1948. Following high school she enrolled in the University of Utah College of Nursing where she later graduated with a Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing and was a member of Phi Beta. She was married on February 2, 1951 to Dr. Robert Leland Morgan, her high school sweetheart who, at the time, was a medical student at the University of Southern California. Lois worked as a nurse in Los Angeles while Bob finished his medical training. She and Bob raised their family in Paradise, California. They also lived in Chico, California, on a walnut orchard in Durham, California and eventually retired to Rocklin, California and Midway, Utah. Lois was preceded in death by her parents, her siblings, and her eldest son, Paul Andrew Morgan. Lois is survived by her husband of 69 years and five of her children. They and their spouses include Christopher B. and Stephanie Thomas Morgan, Richard B. and Leona Gima Morgan, Craig B. and Cinda Burton Morgan, Diedre Morgan and Mark N. Roberts, Pamela Morgan and Adam J. Alexander. The children are guiding her grandchildren: Andrew, Ian, Eric, Alexander, Connor, Drew, Cage, Kimberly, James, Bradley, Marissa, Bryce, Landon, Kiera, Nolan, Jenner, Matilda, Sage, Quinn, Eden, Summer and Grace. And on to the next generation of great-grandchildren: Carson, Caitlin, Owen, Rhett, Emma, June, Bridge, Scarlett, Bradford, Greyson, Jaky and Aaliyah. Lois was a devoted member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, giving generously of her time to church service. Lois held numerous leadership callings, including Primary President, Ward and Stake Relief Society President, but her most favorite was in the Nursery, where she would pop popcorn on Fast Sunday and let the smell waft down the hallway of the church building. In her senior years, she and Bob were called to be missionaries in the California Roseville Mission office, a calling they thoroughly enjoyed. Lois also spearheaded the Humanitarian Day in the Rocklin California Stake, where ladies and youth happily came together and sewed and tied numerous quilts for those in need. She could often be found at home knitting leper bandages or NICU hats and booties or beautiful hand-knit sweaters for children in Romania, all while listening to books on tape. She had a true zest for both learning and doing. Lois loved to travel and ski all over the world. She belonged to the Ski Bees Group for 35 years, retiring from skiing at the age of 82. Lois was practical, prudent, thrifty, talented, and possessed a “can-do” attitude. Anyone who visited her home would be blessed with an artfully prepared, nutritious, gourmet meal, beautifully presented, along with garnishes and heated and chilled dinnerware. Her home reflected her gift for interior design and creativity. Lois was an excellent seamstress and loved nature, flowers and gardening. She valued education and continued learning by taking classes at Chico State University in Japanese and floral design. Lois was obedient, faithful, trustworthy, and a very good friend. She spent many hours with her best friend and sister Fae playing marathon Scrabble games (some known to last a week) and visiting with each other. As with everything she did in life, Lois showed us how to endure to the end elegantly and gracefully. May you rest in peace, wife, mother, grand, and great. A graveside service will be held at 12:00 noon on Saturday, May 2, 2020 at the Provo City Cemetery, Provo Utah. A viewing will be held at the Nelson Family Mortuary in Provo from 10:00 — 11:30 that morning.[Provo Daily Herald, April 30, 2020]

Class Unknown ~ Honorary. Marilyn Morley. She attended BYU Training School K through 9. She married Van H. Washburn. ~ ~ ~ ~ My grandmother, Maria Saphrona Jensen Morley attended BYU Academy in the late 1800's. She went on to teach in a little one-room schoolhouse in Moroni. She knew how important education was and inspired my dad to excel in academics, and in 1922, Alonzo John Morley came to BYU. He studied drama, designed stage sets, put on plays, dragged scenery up and down stairs and across the street south to the scene shop. He even cast me at age four, in one of the plays. He met my mom Eloise Stewart Morley in the Little Theater in the college hall building. There was a mirror on the wall. Mom was on the stage giving a talk when both she and my dad glanced in the mirror at the same time. Dad winked at her, she dissolved in laughter. That began their courtship and here I am as a result. Dad changed from drama to speech pathology. He was the first person in the world to obtain a Ph.D. in that field. His office was in the lower southeast corner of the college hall building. There was a small laboratory adjacent to his office. He smoked his own graph paper so he could record the breathing of his students. He was a genuine pioneer in his field. One day dad stepped out of his office for a moment, and when he returned the heavy heating radiator had fallen from the ceiling, and crashed down on his desk exactly where he had been moments before. Whew! What a narrow escape! I attended K-9 at BYU Training School. I remember in second grade being so crushed because I didn't receive as many valentines as others in the class, when I'd given every one a valentine cookie. Our third grade class with teacher Flora Fischer walked to Fred Baird's home to see a honeybee operation. The same teacher scolded me for writing a "love note" to a boy in the class. She also taught us how to draw trees and mountains. I learned to count to 100 that year. Our sixth grade teacher: Mr. Tuttle taught us about the movement of the sun by laying large sheets of paper on the ground, in both November and May. The size of the shadows of George Ballif and I were traced and the summer/winter shadows were compared. The winter shadows were longer than the May ones. I don't know how Mr. Tuttle was able to teach us as there was a constant Thump! Thump! Thump! The Men's Gym classes were held on the third floor above our class. In junior high, Curtis Colvin made my life miserable by teasing me. He'd grab my purse and fling it from the top of the third floor stairs and I'd have to run down three flights of stairs to retrieve it. Also in junior high, I was devastated when I tried out for the part of a pretty, young maiden, and instead was cast as a CAT! My parents convinced me of the importance of supporting actors and that it took "real acting" to play a cat. Mr. Steineckert was our teacher. In college we raced back and forth, up and down between the women's gym, the Grant library, the old J.S. building, down the hill to the education building, up the creaking stairs, engulfed by the foul odors from Uncle Joseph K. Nicholes' chemistry lab to the top floor for art classes with B.F. Larson and Roman Andrus, up and way out to the North Building for Sociology classes with Dr. Reed Bradford and Dr. Wilford Smith. I returned to BYU and got a masters degree in Elementary Education. I was asked to teach a nursery school training class in the basement of the education building. I had enjoyed the student teachers. The toilet was in the classroom up on a pedestal with stairs leading up to it. No privacy. I had a couple of my own kids who didn't get along. They attended counseling services in the academy building. Much later, my daughter Lindy Fonoimoana Carlson took Special Ed. Classes in the basement and first floor of the Education building in 1973-75. She remembers that one of her best teachers was a blind gentleman. She graduated in 1975, was married three days later in the Manti Temple, moved to Tahiti, raised five children, and now operates a childcare center there. Presently I have a grandchild, Masina Marie Tutor, who is starting her freshman year, and will occasionally use the "new library" at Academy Square. Watching the deterioration of my old school was devastating. Though I lived in Hawaii until 1989, on trips back here I wrote letters to the editor, campaigned, passed out flyers, attended meetings, raked leaves, participated in the Haunted House, swept out rooms, made monetary contributions, and prayed I'd win the sweepstakes so I could help save the buildings. I hoped all four could be saved but finally had to be satisfied with the Education Building, so now this marvelous building restoration. is the result of the efforts of all of us who worked to save it.
