Morgan, widely known and beloved superintendent of Wyoming County schools, Tunkhannock folk this week raised a $250 fithd which will be given as a reward for the recovery of the body. All through the week, since Mr. Mor- into the river from the Falls bridge last Friday afternoon, a steady search has continued, handi- capped by the swiftness of the current and the depth of .the water at that point. The change in the weather yes- terday made the searchers’ work more difficult. The reward money has been raised and the cash is being held by R. W. Greenwood, coroner, who will turn over the money to the person obtain- ing the body. The fund was subscribed by business men and prominent citi- zens of Tunkhannock.

Mr. Morgan was born near Beau- mont, August 15, 1879, attended school in Monroe Township and began his teaching career there. He was prin- cipal of Beaumont High School for four years, and was elected superin- tendent of schools in Wyoming Coun- ty in 1914, holding that office until he, resigned because of ill health several weeks ago.
