Once a traveling salesman came to town, he hired the triplets to dance and draw a crowd so he could sell his products. The all three wore flat straw hats and could dance very well. They were sharp dressers, they started wearing mustaches when they were 18. They were all good men and very close friends. Morgan traveled everwhere, there was a train that ran thru town and they all used it a lot.
They had a portrait taken together when they were 23 years old.
They were identical and no one could tell them apart. When they were young their mother put different color buttons on their shirts to tell them apart, but they would switch shirts and pull pranks on people. They would trade places in school at test time, one was good with math another science and the other history, it worked quit well for them.
Morgan died 07 Aug 1917 of typhoid fever after working as a lumberjack in the mountains.
