"Thomas L. Morgan (Llyfnwy) of Scranton, one of the best known Welshmen
in this section, died yesterday of general debility, aged 65 years. He
was a man of strong literary attainments and was well known in Welsh
literary circles. He was also an antiquarian and an authority on Welsh
lore and on the old castles and Welsh nobility from its earliest
history. He was a native of Maesteg, Wales, and emigrated to the United
States thirty years ago, and for years carried on a successful merchant
tailoring business. He brought up a large family, all of whom are
worthy citizens, including Tallie Morgan, the well known Prohibition
orator, and William Morgan, the leader of the Forest City Choir, that
took a prize at the eisteddfod at Scranton in September. Deceased was
secretary of the National Eisteddfod of Wales in 1862."
