Comments:	2 Oct 2008 e-mail from Nancy (Mrs. Tom) Tjornhorn of Minneapolis, Minnesota " My great grandfather, Oregon Franklin Morgan, was a student at Lebanon Normal School right after the Civil War. O.F. was from Fairmont, WVa. Virginia before the WVA entry during those years. He served in an Ohio Military Unit....I believe he had a passion for education, discipline and learning, gleaned from of the hand written (YES) letters he penned to his daughter, my grama and Grama's children.....One being my mother. I have the old parchment graduation certificate he received upon finishing at Lebanon Normal as it states. Sadly his signature has faded but I remember reading it in years past.....O.F. Morgan became a Professor in Waterville, Minnesota.... O.F. married a Lebanon girl, Alice Hart, daughter of Zephaniah Hart.....Alice's lineage goes back just a couple more generations to John Hart, signer of the Dec. of Ind. from New Jersey... Harts also married Corwins in Lebanon..." 3 Feb 2008 e-mail from Nancy (Mrs. Tom) Tjornhorn of Minneapolis, Minnesota "Enclosed also a couple of hand written letters from stern old Prof. Morgan to his daughter, Grace, my grandmother and one written the same day to her son, Waldo, my uncle. Looks like the letters were written 98 years ago. How about that. It will be enjoyable to have them hit the 100 year mark. And he was worried about the schools that long ago. He should see them now.
