A copy of the following unidentified newspaper article was found in a scrapbook owned by Town Historian Richard Schmal:
Rev. Freeman Morgan died at his residence in Crown Point Saturday morning. Mr. Morgan had long been afflicted, but had been so as to be around until a short time ago. It will be long remembered that Mr. M. spent a number of years in India as a missionary, and that his health was poor when he returned. He leaves a widow and several children. He was highly respected, and probably had no enemies, but many friends. Truly, it may be said, a good man has passed away. The mortal remains were taken to Elgin, Ill., Monday, for interment, and where funeral services were probably held. The deceased was 41 years of age.
