Morgan (nee Farmer) was born in Hamburg, Iowa in 1865. At the age of 20, she married Tom Morgan, believed to be a gambler who worked on trains.
She was found dead on November 29, 1892, of what was believed to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. This was five days after checking into the Hotel del Coronado in San Diego. There is speculation that her death involved foul play. One main peice of evidence to the foul play was that the bullet that was found in her head did not match that of her own gun! She was buried at nearby Mount Hope Cemetery in Division 5 Section 1.
There have been many putative ghost sightings, and other potential paranormal events at Hotel del Coronado since then.
