Mr. Samuel Morgan was born in 1848 in Monmouthshire, England, where he was brought up as a coal miner, and he subsequently worked at that calling in Staffordshire. He came to Lyttelton in 1873, by the ship “Edwin Fox,” and worked for two and a half years at the Shag Point coal mine. From 1876 Mr. Morgan had been actively engaged in the Cambrian district as a gold-miner. He had filled the offices of president and vice-president of the Miners' Association, and served as chairman of the Cambrian school committee. Mr. Morgan was married in 1869 to a daughter of Mr. J. Bickley, of North Staffordshire, and had five sons and seven daughters. He died in the latter part of 1903.
