William Morgan Clan

This wonderful old picture was taken in the Rockland area. It is famously known in the Morgan Family as the "Four Generations of Morgan's Picture."

The pictures above was taken at the Alvin Elmer Morgan place near Rockland, Idaho, which is near American Falls, Idaho. It was most likely taken about 1929.

Emily Alice Baugh Morgan (Wife of George William) died 11 August 1929 in Blackfoot, Idaho and was buried in the Neeley cemetery. This picture, which was clearly a gathering of Morgan's at the Alvin Morgan home in Rockland, may have been taken at the time of or somewhere near the time of her death.

Present in this picture are William Thomas Morgan (1856-1946), his oldest son George William Morgan (1881-1964), George William's oldest son Leon Baugh Morgan (1902-1971) and Leon's oldest son William Leon Morgan (1926-1983).

Recognizing my mother, Mary Morgan, in this picture helped to tie down the date it was taken. Kenneth Wayne Morgan, her oldest child, was born in 1926 and she is holding him in her arms. William Leon Morgan, who is positively identified in the "Four Generations One" picture was also born in 1926. His mother Mamie Morgan is holding him in her arms. The two children are clearly the same age. Mary Morgan's second child, Leah, was born in October, 1929 and Mary is obviously pregnant in this picture. So the picture was very likely taken in the summer of 1929.
