Excerpt from Encyclopedia of Virginia Biography, Vol. 5 The bearer of much good to suffering humanity through his medical skill and knowledge, he touched almost as great a number who needed his help through his gifts to charitable institutions and enter prises. His wealth he would hav'e held as of little value had it not been the medium through which he was enabled to lift those less fortunate than he, to ease pain that de fied his doctor's skill. Those who knew of his freely bestowed gifts to eleemosynary projects loved him for the brotherhood he thus displayed, and in this beneficent action he gave the completing touch to a life of purity and goodness, lived manfully among men in such a manner as to hold their last ing respect. At his death Suffolk lost a citizen whose concern for her welfare sur mounted any obstacles of inconvenience, a professional man who stood high among scholars and his medical brethren, and a philanthropist whose generosity was produc tive of good beyond computation. Children of Dr. Henry Augustus Morgan and his wife, Sarah Augusta Harrell: Henry Aubrey, died aged eighteen months, and Sarah Lizzie, a resident of Suffolk, Virginia.
