Gladys Butler Morgan was a well known artist and the wife of sculptor, Arthur C. Morgan, Gladys established the Fine Arts Department at Centenary College in Shreveport, Louisiana.
Born in Terrebonne parish, Louisiana to attorney and Judge Robert B. Butler and his wife Agnes Hartz. She married Arthur C. Morgan in Jasper, Missouri on July 26, 1929.
Gladys's watercolors were featured in Louisiana Magazine in 1961. She organized the Art Colony of New Iberia in June, 1964. She was also known for her prints of area attractions including landscapes of Texarkana and of New Orleans street scenes.
She was preceded in death by her young daughter, Cynthia. Cynthia was four years old and died five months after suffering burn injuries from fireworks on December 28, 1935. It is Cynthia's cameo profile featured on the Morgan monument Arthur sculpted for their graves. Further research has shown that even though, there is this remarkable gravestone and footstone for Cynthia at Forest Park East Cemetery, she is actually buried at Magnolia Cemetery with her grandparents, the Butlers, in Houma, Louisiana.
Arthur is buried at this site as well, however, it is unmarked.
Unfortunate is the exclusion of any information or acknowledgment on the Centenary College website of the Morgans and their artistic contributions to the college.
