      I. L - MORG AN J. LARUE.

      Son of Jacob LaRue (I.) and Jane Morgan LaRue. Was born November 26, 1806, on the farm of his father in Hardin (later LaRue) County, Kentucky. Died at his home on Nolynn, below Glendale, Hardin County, December 26, 1883, of an illness contracted from exposure while attending the funeral of his brother, Jesse V. LaRue (I. N), who died just ten days previously.

      Morgan J. LaRue (I. L) married first, Sept. 9, 1824, Maria Castleman (1806-1867), a daughter of James Castleman (1775-1840), who came from Frederick Co, Va., about the year 1800. She was a sister of Lewis Castleman, who married Sarah LaRue (I. M) and a half-sister of Mary Castleman, who married Josiah LaRue (I. H c). Second marriage, November 8, 1868, to Ellen H. Eller, of Missouri, who died December 15, 1906.

      The greater part of the life of Morgan J. LaRue, after his marriage, was spent on a farm below the village of Glendale, but for a few years just after his second marriage he lived in Missouri, near Mexico. He was a pioneer preacher of the Christian Church (Disciples), usually ministering to four churches at one time, preaching one Sunday a month for each church. Among the early converts under his ministry was J. B. Briney, who has long been one of the leading preachers of the Christian Church in Kentucky.

      The body of Morgan J. LaRue (I. L) rests in the burying ground at the old "Stone Church," in Hardin County.
