MORGAN—MONFRIES.—June 23rd, at- the Presby- terian Church. Cardiff, by the Rev. J. D. Watters, M.A., Richard, eldest son öf Charles Morgan, of Iloath, Cardiff, to Annie Chamberlain, fourth daughter of the late James Laurie Monfries, of Pwllypant. No cards Richard worked as a secretary for the coal company of John Cory

The control of the affairs of the Company was in the hands of five directors, Messrs’ John and Richard Cory and their sons Messrs’ S. Campbell Cory, Herbert B. Cory and Clifford John Cory, Mr John Cory being chairman. The secretary of the Company is Mr Richard Morgan. Seeing that the chairman of the company Mr John Cory now 78 years of age has throughout his life been intimately connected with colliery owning, coal exporting, ship-owning and railway work, it goes without saying that he possesses an unequalled commercial experience. But, in addition, Mr John Cory presents an example of untiring energy. Irrespective of his own firm, which is the largest exporting firm in the world, he is deputy-chairman of the Barry Railway and a director of the Vale of Glamorgan Railway.

"Mr. Richard Morgan. of Mill Crest. Llanishen, has died at Porthcawl, after a long illness at the ago of 57 ... spent the whole of his commercial life with Messrs Cory Bros and Co, colliery proprietors ... 27 years secretary of the company ...having started as a junior over 40 years ago - 21 June 1919 - Western Mail"

His sister, Margaret Mary Morgan (BIRTH 10 APR 1889 • Cardiff, Glamorgan, Wales, DEATH 19 FEB 1970 • Ashford, Kent, England) is even more interesting. She joined the Red Cross in WW1 and was 'demobilised' exactly 100 years ago, in May 1919, during that time she had a meteoric rise through its ranks.
was recruited in April 1916 to Samuel House Auxiliary Hospital Cardiff as a Kitchen maid and later cook, moving to Dunraven Castle Auxiliary Hospital, Southerdown, she became its quartermaster and finished the war as its Commandant!
