[1] In November 1886 Morgan also became Mayor of Cardiff for the next 12 months, which included the town's celebrations of Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee.
[1] As a mark of gratitude for his services to the borough, in November 1888 the council presented Morgan with a 36 piece silver dinner set (worth £1,000) and two oil paintings of himself.
[1] Following the creation of Cardiff County Borough in 1889, Morgan became councillor for the new Park ward, but was the most prominent casualty of the all-Cardiff elections in November 1890, when he lost to the Liberal contender.
He had fallen ill on a trip to Scotland in the September, then caught a further cold staying at his house in Porthcawl in late November.
After his death was announced, the muffled bells of St John's church were rung and flags were flown at half mast on some of Cardiff's important buildings.
