Loving Wife Of Edward Thomas Morgan, She was the Daughter of Thomas I Richardson and Merab Stone Richardson
Mother Of 8 Fine Children 7 Boys and one Girl∼Violet Merab (Lettie) Richardson was the daughter of Thomas Richardson and Merab A. Stone. She was born in Richmond, Cache, Utah, but grew up in Neeley, Idaho, where her parents moved after her birth.

Violet (Lettie) married Edward Thomas Morgan in about 1892 in Neeley, Power, Idaho.

The 1900 census of Neeley (American Falls Precinct) show that the Edward Thomas and Lettie Morgan family lived in the same precinct as the William and Lovina Morgan family and close to her brother Thomas I. Richardson and father Thomas Richardson. Edward's occupation was listed as "farm laborer," indicating he did not own land there in 1900.

After giving birth to eight children from 1893 to 1908, Lettie died suddenly in 1909, possibly due to pregnancy complications. Shortly after her death Edward Thomas moved to the Ririe area of eastern Idaho where he raised most of his children and apparently never remarried. In 1930 he is listed as a farmer in Clark, Jefferson, Idaho. A grandson, Ron Morgan, wrote that the soil on this farm was so poor "he had a hard time growing anything on his farm" but he stayed there and managed to raise his boys and daughter. "My dad Earl Morgan stayed with his dad Edward Thomas Morgan and helped him on the farm until he was about 24 in 1924." Ron indicates that boys had to work hard shearing sheep and other farm labor. Some of them also found seasonal work at the large Rogers Brothers Seed Company in Idaho Falls, Idaho, which sorted, cleaned and packaged seed peas.

Edward Thomas Morgan and Violet Merab Richardson had eight children as follows: Edward Thomas Morgan Jr., Ernest Robert (Dutch) Morgan, Amos Morgan, Earl Morgan, Ervin (Ruff) Morgan, Albert Morgan, Dorothy Merab Morgan, Weldon Morgan.
