Disappearance of Athens Man A M Morgan
Mr A M Morgan former resident of Athens and once connected with the business college vanished from Kingsland Iowa on April 13. A letter found on his desk and his hat at Mallette Landing river freight station led family and friends to believe he died by his own hand. Reports say he planned to end his life at Oak Hill Church after disposing of property to wife and mother and making a large bank deposit. Searches failed to recover a body amid river drag operations and local speculation of mental depression and illness follow.
