She was united in marriage to David B. Morgan on August 21, 1901. They established their home on the Morgan homestead near Fiat, Kansas. This was their home, with the exception of one year spent in California and two years in Severy, Kansas, until nearly ten years ago, when they moved to their present home in Howard. Even though their home was childless, it was always open to all children. Alice Lucille Morgan, a niece, was taken into their home as a small child and cared for as their own for a number of years. Dave and Bessie were a home loving couple, devoted and constant companions. They celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary August 21, 1951. They found much joy and comfort in reading their Bible and in later years spent much time so doing. Bessie was a very apt Bible student and faithfully attended Sunday School and church as long as health permitted. She is survived by her companion, Dave, of the home; two sisters, Mrs. Alta Stewart of Howard and Mrs. Etta Dersham of Moline; one sister-in-law, Mrs. Lula Morgan of rural Howard; numerous nieces and nephews, and a host of friends.
