Mr. Morgan who was 86 years of age, fell Saturday in his home, 1161 Twenty-sixth street, Des Moines, and suffered a fracture of the hip. Pneumonia developed and eath followed shortly after.
Mr. Morgan was born in February, 1849, in Yadkin county, North Carolina, the oldest of the 11 children of Hardin and Elizabeth Morgan.
Teacher 35 Years.
The first year in Iowa was spent in New Providence and in 1870 the family moved to Liscomb.

He continued to teach for more than 35 years and served as superintendent of schools at Radcliffe, Mapleton, Lake City, Deep River, and Altoona.

Biography

Started schooling in North Carolina, then under Mr. Jennings of the Liscomb IA school. He taught a year or two of school then attended Penn College at Oskaloosa, IA. He attended Drak University in Des Moines, IA, where he graduated from the Normal Department.
Mace was most anxious that his parents would be cared for properly in their old age and delayed his marriage until they had passed away. He paid for perpetual care of the Morgan lot in the Liscomb cemetery. When his brother Jim was 8 years old, he wanted to adopt him so that he could personally see that Jim received a fine education. It was due to Mace's influence that Jim received his Ph.B. degree from Drake University. Jim had covered 4 years prepratory work and four years University work in three years of actual attendence. Prof. Shepard once asked Mace why his brother Jim had never returned to finish his work so he could graduate. When Mace told of Jim's record, Prof. Shepard at once saw to it that Jim was given his diploma and received his Ph.B. degree.
As a boy on the plantation after the end of the Civil War, a rebel cavalry soldier on one of the horses given by Gen. Grant to all the rebel calvary soldiers, came riding thro the field where Mace was working. The soldier asked Mace for directions to a certain place. Mace gave the desired information. The man dismounted, walked over to Mace, and knocked him down. He then remounted and rode away. This incident illustrates the feeling the returned rebels had for any Northern sympathizer.
Throughout Mace's life no matter where he lived, his influence for all that was good and fine in life was felt by everyone who came in contact with him.
At the 1954 Morgan reunion, the prgram was in memory of "Uncle Mace." Glowing tributes were paid by all present and read from letters sent in by other relatives. His son Hubert gave many interesting side lights on his father's life. Mace used a piano stool to teach his son to swim. Mace was ahead of his time in many educational ways. Was advocating a "Teacher's Pension Bill" long before his death.
It was heart-warming to listen to Hubert's fine talk about his worthy father and to realize that as long as any Morgan descendant is alive or any pupil of Mason Morgan lives the name of Mason Morgan will stand for Nobility, Honesty, the best of education and good citizenship. As a pioneer teacher his influence will go marching on and on.
He was a teacher and superintendent of Iowa schools: Radcliffe, Mapleton, Lake City, Deep River, and Altoona.
According to Fern Hauser, he had a sweet tenor voice and played the guitar and added much to everyone's music education and appreciation.

Drew’s story
My first recollections were in Stokes County where Grandfather Morgan lived with Father and Mother. His name was
Perry and he was a great hunter. He let me shoot the wad out of his gun after he got through cleaning it. That is the first
thing I remember in this checkered life of now turning into my 88th year.
My next was when Father had an auction sale and sold Pink and Heart, our two cows. Jim Tumblin, a cousin, and his
brother bought Heart, put a rope around her horns and tried to lead her and, as she never had a rope on her horns before,
she cut up scandalous and they broke one of her horns off and knocked out one of her eyes. I ran to the house crying and
told Mother to go and take the cows back as those men were going to kill them.
The day before we were to leave, a brother and a cousin came to bid us good-bye. They were both tipsy, and they offered
Mattie 10 cents in silver if she would kiss them. She refused and ran into the house, so I told them I would kiss them for
the 10 cents but they would not pay me, so they left without a kiss.
I was four years old when I sat on Grandpa’s lap and shot the wad out of his gun; and five years old when we moved
away and rented a place of Jim Cardwell near the Yadkin County line, where we lived for about a year, then Father
bought our home-place one and a half miles from Booneville.
There were 200 acres cleared and 40 acres on the west side joining Tom Spencers. After 3 years Father sold the 40 to
Spencer. Mat and I had to go over there every two or three days, pull up a sack of pig weed and carry it home nearly a
mile to feed our pigs. Then we cleared up some ten or fifteen acres on the south side of our home, next to Aunt Kitty
Kruses and Mrs. Crumbles, and worked that for many years.
When I was about nine years old, I took a little shot gun and went out along a narrow path that crossed a little spring
creek. The path was just wide enough to get through the alder bushes and briars for about ten rods, and I stopped before I
started to go down through this place, as it was then nearly sundown. I was standing there in the path when a very big
black animal came down the path to the creek and drank, and as good luck happened to be in my favor, the wind was
blowing from the south.
I was about 4 rods north of the creek after the animal got through drinking. He raised his head looked round, went back
up the path for four or five rods, started off through the thicket, jumped on the rail fence, gave two or three whines,
jumped down and meandered off through the briars and brush. Three days after that he was treed about a mile south of
where I saw him, and was shot by Jim Crumwell — a black bear. The wind blowing from the south is what saved me
from becoming bear meat.
Another close call was with a panther, which had been seen by several people, in the timber west of our place. Nancy,
Mat, Sidney and I took rakes, went up in the timber to rake the leaves from under 5 or 6 big chestnut trees. The chestnuts
always fell off at night, so in order to get them, we had to get there early in the morning before the hogs did. After we
had got them from three or four trees, we heard a woman calling and we answered back. She would answer again and we
noticed she was closer every time she hollered. We kept looking through the timber expecting to see the woman appear
any minute when Nancy said, “Oh! I bet it’s that panther,” and they all broke and ran for their lives.
Of course I was left way behind. I was crying like any kid would and was scared with in an inch of my life. The rest of the
kids were way ahead of me, when I slipped in a hole, fell down and imagined that panther was just ready to spring upon
my back, but by a great effort I got to my feet and ran as I never ran before or since. Well, believe it or not, he was killed
by a man by the name of Jake Horn, a mountaineer, who always carried his rifle hung on the horn of his saddle.
He had been to the mill with a grist of corn and had to wait till nearly sundown. There was a leaning tree that reached
right over the road, and just before he reached the tree, he saw something move in the foliage. He stopped his horse and
sure enough, there was a big animal crouched and ready to spring. He reached for his rifle and down came Mr. Animal
right in the road-a panther, 7 feet from tip to tip. He was hung up at the P.O. at Booneville for several days.
My next narrow escape was in a swimming hole. Mase, Sid and I were just above the path where I had seen the bear.
Mary Jane, Melissa, Saline and Em Dosier from Booneville, the Doctor’s daughters, were at our house, visiting our girls.
They all got on some old dresses and went out to that little pond and went in swimming. I had on my regular long-tail
shimmy, which was all any kids wore in the summer time so I thought I would go in too, and came very near to my
death. First one and then the other of those Gals caught me and baptized me until I was just about gone, as they did not
let me have time to get my breath before another would souse me under. Mase, Sid and Roe Crumwell just happened to
come along, and Mase rescued me, or I guess I wouldn’t be here now to tell about it.
On Christmas morning, we sometimes slipped over to Aunt Kitty Kruse’s house. One time, we picked up some walnuts
without asking for them. When we got home, Mother asked us if we asked Aunt Kitty for them and we told her “No” and
she made us pick them right up, tote them back to the house, tell Aunt Kitty what he had done and ask her to forgive us.
Brother Sid once found a big cow bell in the woods, with a wide leather strap and buckle on it. It was quite sumptuous to
have a bell on your cow in them days, so we children thought we were going to be right in the swim, but Mother told us
we could not keep it, as if it was found on our cow, the owner would claim that we stole it. About that time, there was a
great religious wave sweeping the country. We did not dare whistle, or use words beginning with “By” such as “by
golly”, or call anybody a liar or step on a grave. We were under the Blue Laws of Connecticut.
