Kate Morgan (1865–1892) was an American woman who died under mysterious circumstances, and is thought by locals to be a ghost at the Hotel del Coronado in Coronado, California. She was buried at nearby Mount Hope Cemetery in Division 5 Section 1. ==Background== Kate Farmer was born in Fremont County, Iowa about 1864. Her mother died September 23, 1865,〔Gravestone, Mt. Olive Cemetery, Hamburg, Iowa〕 and at the age of two, she was sent to live with her maternal grandfather, Joe Chandler.〔Affidavit of Joseph Chandler, August 12, 1879, in the matter of the Estate of George W. Farmer〕 November 9, 1870, Kate's father, George Washington Farmer, was appointed to be the Postmaster of Hamburg, Iowa.〔National Archives, Old Military and Civil Records〕 He remarried in 1871, fathered two more daughters and then moved to Texas,〔Biography of Henry Eubank, "Wheatheart of the Plains - An Early History of Ochiltree County, 1969〕 where he died in 1876.〔Affidavit of B.M. Burke, County Clerk, McCullouch County, Texas, July 7, 1880, in the matter of the Estate of George W. Farmer〕 On December 30, 1885 Kate married Thomas Edwin Morgan〔Marriage Certificate〕 and they had one child, a boy, born on October 31, 1886; he lived only two days.〔Gravestone, Utterback Cemetery, Riverton, Iowa〕 Around 1890 Kate ran off with Albert Allen, a stepson of Tom's stepmother, Emily Dennison Allen Morgan.〔Written statement by Tom Morgan's daughter〕 Kate was hired as a housemaid by the Grant family in Los Angeles and told her co-workers she was married to a gambler. From this statement, Tom Morgan was assumed to be the gambler in question, but in fact, he was a rural mail carrier in Burchard, Nebraska〔Tom Morgan's obituary〕 at the time of Kate's death on November 28, 1892. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kate Morgan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
