Miner Information:
William Morgan worked for the Avondale Colliery. He was born in Wales, on Jan. 14, 1814. William, his wife Ann, and their children lived in Plymouth. At 55 years of age, William would have been a very experienced coal miner. His knowledge of working underground was a valued skill. The story of William's death at the Avondale Mine Disaster is one which he shared with 107 fellow miners. No one knows the horror that each and every one of those brave men had to face. Above ground, their wives, mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters and children could only wait for some good news, that maybe some men would have survived. Surely, the experienced miners would know what to do, how to find a way to survive. The stress felt by the families was unbearable. On that very same day, September 6, 1869, William's wife gave birth to their last child, a son, whom she named Dafydd (David). His birth on that day could have very well been due to the intense stress that Ann was going through. David would only live for 2 years. William T Morgan, who was likely buried at Shupp's Cemetery, Larksville, was re-interred in a family plot, at Shawnee. His son Dafydd shares the back side of William's headstone. William's wife Ann Morgan Bengough and William's daughter Jennie Morgan, are also buried in the family plot.
