Daniel Arthur Morgan

M, ID# 1355, b. 8 September 1895, d. 3 January 1983
  • Note*: One source says he was born in Dallas, Texas on September 15 without giving the year. He was not given the middle name Arthur at birth. When he enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1917, the Army required a second name; he turned to the recruit behind him, asked his name, which turned out to be Arthur, and told the Army it was his middle name.15
