Daniel Morgan

M, ID# 13834, b. 15 January 1839, d. 11 April 1911
  • Obituary*: DANIEL MORGAN DIES; PROMINENT BUILDER
    ERECTED MANY OF THE LARGEST STRUCTURES IN DALLAS.
    Came to This City in 1873 and Was Identified with Its Early Development.
    After an illness of six months, Daniel Morgan, a pioneer citizen of Dallas, passed away at his home, 806 North Harwood street, yesterday evening. Funeral services will be held at the house at 2:30 o’clock tomorrow afternoon. Burial will be in the family lot in Greenwood Cemetery. The service will be conducted by Rev. William M. Anderson, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, and Rev. New Harris, pastor of Trinity Methodist Church.
    Daniel Morgan was born in Fifeshire, Scotland, Jan. 15, 1839. He attended the local public schools until he was 18 years of age, when he came to the United States and located in New York City. At the close of the Civil War he removed to Alabama, where he became a railroad contractor. In 1866 he married Miss Eliza Burney of Chambers County, Ala.
    Came to Dallas in 1873.
    In 1873 he located in Dallas, where he took up the line of building contractor, and he has left many monuments of his skill. He built the Dallas County courthouse, The News Building, the Belo residence, on Ross avenue; St. Mary’s College, the Juanita Building and many other structures, besides one or more of the public buildings in many of the larger towns of North and Central Texas were erected by him. He had the contract for the bridge work on the Denver and South Park Railroad, including the Alpine tunnel, in Colorado, where he was engaged from 1877 to 1882.
    Mr. Morgan was one of the original promoters of Trinity River navigation, and he contributed liberally of his money toward that enterprise. He firmly believed the river could be made navigable, and he often expressed a wish that he might live to see that belief realized.
    Actual Dallas Builder.
    Mr. Morgan was one of the actual builders of Dallas. Besides the many handsome buildings which he erected, he was liberal in his contributions to all public enterprises. The books of the State Fair will show that he many times gave his check to help that institution when it got into straits.
    While Mr. Morgan was a conspicuous figure in Dallas for almost forty years, he studiously kept out of the limelight, but those who had opportunities to know him intimately are unanimously agreed that no man could have a more steadfast friend than this Scotchman. He was a member of Dallas Lodge No. 70, Knights of Pythias.
    His widow and seven children survive him. The children are Misses Annie and Lucile Morgan, Daniel Morgan, Jr., Mrs. Matt M. Toole, Mrs. Paul A. Johnston, Mrs. Carroll M. Selby and James R. Morgan, all of whom were at his bedside when he passed away.
    Mr. Morgan contracted la grippe on Dallas Day at the State Fair last year. From that date his health rapidly failed. On Tuesday of last week he had a stroke of apoplexy, after which he did not regain consciousness.
    The “History of Dallas County,” published in 1892, contains the following sketch of Mr. Morgan:
    “Daniel Morgan, brick and stone contractor, was born in Fifeshire, Scotland, in 1839, the youngest of ten children of George and Annie (Tesch) Morgan. His father, a stonemason, died in 1861, and his mother some years later. After learning his trade in his native land, he left there, at the age of 19 years, and came on a steamer from Glasgow to New York. He worked in Brooklyn for several years, and in 1861 he went to London, Canada, and worked at his trade there for a time, then returned to New York City and afterward proceeded to Savannah and Atlanta, Ga., and became a railroad contractor in that State and in Alabama, next he was in Kansas City for a number of years. In the autumn of 1873 he came from Alabama to Dallas, and since then he has taken a great deal of responsible work, putting up many of the leading business houses, notably those of Padgitt Bros., Thomas Bros., on Camp and Griffin streets; the seven-story Scollard Building, on Main street, with granite front; the Merchants’ Exchange Bank Building, S. Q. Richardson’s residence, the basement of the court house at McKinney, besides some fine buildings in Austin. For about five years he was employed on the Denver and South Park Railroad, on the Alpine Tunnel route, in Colorado, doing all the bridge construction from 1877 to 1882. He is now preparing a stone yard for the sawing and dressing of stone. He employs on an average thirty to forty men. He is one of the oldest contractors of the city, and is just completing the stone work on the Dallas County court house.”.3
  • Note*: He lived in his native Scotland until age 18, when he arrived in New York City. At the end of the Civil War he moved to Alabama, where he was a railroad contractor. In 1873 he moved to Dallas, Texas, where, as a contractor, he built such landmarks as the "Old Red Courthouse," the Belo mansion, Sacred Heart Cathedral, and Bachman Dam. Neiman-Marcus sits on property in downtown Dallas that he once traded for a wagon and mule team. The family home was at San Jacinto and Ervay Streets in downtown Dallas. He became a naturalized U.S. citizen in Dallas on 21 Nov 1892. He was survived by his widow and seven children.4,1
