Born on December 15, l957 to pioneer Plantersville stock, his parents were the late Marlin Morgan and Halove Lindley Morgan who survives at age 100, Harry lived all his life in and near Plantersville. He graduated from Tupelo High School in 1975 and attended ICC. He had great respect for Morgan Farms, his family’s farm, which was owned by the Morgan’s for over 100 years in Town Creek Bottom and surrounding areas Harry loved farming and watching his late brother, Freddy manage the operation. He enjoyed riding around the fields and countryside, checking out the crops and visiting with his many friends along the way. He was a steady fixture at Quality Discount Foods in Plantersville owned by his family for years. After Quality Foods, he and his wife, Rhonda founded and operated H and R Hardware. His life works put him in contact with thousands of people who became his friends. A man with simple tastes and habits, Harry loved hunting and riding horses.
