- William Robert Morgan, 67, was stricken with a fatal heart attack just after entering the Bethel Post Office Tuesday, Jan. 2, about 6 p.m. In the absence of Mary Keleher, Postmaster, Mrs. Earl Tewksbury called Dr. Henry Buermann of Randolph, who pronounced Mr. Morgan dead upon his arrival.
As no known relatives or friends could be contacted, Town Manager Bert Moffatt was called, and he in turn called the Selectmen of Royalton, as Mr. Morgan was a resident of Royalton. Stanley Foster of Royalton, Funeral Director, was then engaged.
Mr. Morgan had lived for some years in Royalton with friends. He had done odd jobs in the Bethel–Randolph–Royalton area when able, and at one time worked in Bethel Mills. He was known to have a heart condition, and at the time prior to his death was visiting Mr. Ashley in the Fay Cowdrey block.
He was born in West Rutland, June 3, 1894, son of William and Minnie (Burdett) Morgan. Mr. Morgan remained a bachelor all his life. There are no immediate survivors.
The body was removed to the Foster Funeral Home in South Royalton, with entombment in Riverside Cemetery. Committal services will be conducted in the spring, either in Riverside Cemetery or in West Rutland.
