Lifelong Resident of Rubio Community Dies

Orville B. MORGAN, life long resident of the Rubio community, died at the University hospital in Iowa City Friday after an illness of four years. He was a victim of leukemia.

Survivors include his wife (sic. Verle BALDERSON MORGAN), three sons: John MORGAN, Iowa City; Billy MORGAN, Kings Point, New York; and Charles at home.

There is also a brother, Earl and two sisters, Mrs. Margaret JOHNSON and Mrs. O. W. SCHMITTER, all of near Rubio.

Funeral services will be held Sunday in the Methodist church in Richland at 2:30 p.m. Burial will be in the Friends cemetery (sic. in Richland, Keokuk county, Iowa).

* Transcribed for genealogy purposes. I am distantly connected to the MORGAN family by way of his mother's WATERS lineage. Orville's wife, Verle, was born near Veo in Jefferson county, Iowa.
