A new almshouse was built in 1864, which was enlarged in 1877 and again in 1881. In the latter a hospital ward was erected sep- arate from the main building, and so thus arranged, the Camden County Almshouse is regarded as one of the most complete in the State. The farm and buildings, including the Insane Asylum, are valued at ninety thousand dollars. In the fall of 1880 an epidemic of typhoid fever broke out in the institution, decimating the ranks of the in- mates, including the steward, Isaac P. Wil-
son, who had filled the position from the date that Camden County first took sole posses- sion. The stewards have been Isaac P. Wilson, 1861-81 ; Alfred Harris, 1881-86 ; and Charles F. Adams. The annual cost is about one thousand eight hundred dollars.
THE COUNTY INSANE ASYLUM .- The County Insane Asylum was built in 1877, under the law giving counties an allowance for the care of its indigent insane. It stands north of the almshouse, on the county farm, is of brick, three stories high, with all the best modern appliances for the care of the in- sane, in the protection and cure of whom the institution has been very successful. It has been enlarged and accommodates over ninety inmates. It is in charge of a matron, under the supervision of a committee of the Board of Freeholders. The net annual cost to the county for maintenance is about ten thou- sand dollars. The matrons have been : 1877- 85, Adelaide Stiles ; 1885, Jennie Gardner ; 1886, Mary Nichols.
RANDAL E. MORGAN, whose life has been marked by great activity, both in pub- lic and private affairs, was born November 6, 1824, near Blackwoodtown, which was named for one of his ancestors. He was a son of Randal W. and Sarah (Eldridge) Morgan. The former was the descendant of one of three brothers, of Welsh origin, who came to America some time between 1660 and 1670, one settling in New Jersey, one in Connecticut and the third in Virginia. Our subject's mother was of an old family of Friends, and thus his ancestry in America has been upon both sides quite ancient.
Mr. Morgan's youth was spent upon the farm where he was born, and his early edu- cation received in the schools of the neigh- borhood, though he subsequently attended a select school at Woodbury. As he grew to manhood his industrious habits and good character were recognized, and he was grad- ually raised into prominence by his fellow- citizens. In 1855 he was elected a free-

holder, and at the same time held the offices of trustee of the almshouse and treasurer of the same institution. After holding various minor offices, he was elected treasurer of Camden County, upon the Republican ticket, in 1861 (Washington township, the place of his resi- dence, then being a part of Camden County, though subsequently returned to Gloucester Connty). In 1864 he was re-elected, and held the office for another term of three years. During his six years' occupancy of this position of responsibility and trust, cov- ering the period of the Civil War, over two million dollars passed through his hands. At the same time he was a special collector in his township of moneys needed for war purposes, was on the committee to secure substitutes, had several private estates to settle, and attended to his large personal bus- iness. In the fall of 1868 he was elected sheriff, and re-elected in 1869 and 1870. He did all of the work of the office, with the assistance of his sons, and discharged the du- ties incumbent upon him with the same fidel- ity and promptness which had characterized his administration as Camden County's treasurer. In addition to the labor devolv- ing upon him in this office, he served frequently as deputy United States marshal, sometimes in quite important matters. In 1875 he was appointed by the Council as city treasurer, to fill the unexpired term caused by the death of Captain Hnfty. Most of his time since 1871, however, has been employed in exten- sive building operations, and he has erected in Camden about two hundred buildings, principally dwelling-houses. Of these he has sold the greater proportion. His ener- gies have also found exereise in various other occupations, and he has been constantly busy in some line of enterprise. His career forms a remarkable illustration of what industry and integrity may accomplish in private and public life.
Mr. Morgan's religions affiliation is with the Presbyterian Church. He was chosen
an elder in his home church when only thir- ty-one years old; retained the office until coming to Camden, and is now a trustee of the First Presbyterian Church of that city.
He has been twice married. His first wife, with whom he was united June 10, 1847, was Mary Josephine Willard. She died August 30, 1881, having been the mother of seven children, five of whom survived her. These were Randal W., Eli B., Mary E., Joseph Willard, Sallie (died in infancy), Ella (died in 1872, aged thirteen years) and Car- rie W.
Randal W. Morgan, the eldest, was a mid- shipman, but subsequently retired from the service, studied medicine, carried on a drug- store in Camden, was vaccine physician and county physician. His health failed, and he went twice to Europe for its benefit, and died at sea on his return voyage, October 20, 1884.
Eli B. was a deputy in the sheriff's office, under his father, and subsequently under other sheriffs ; then deputy clerk for five years, and since 1885 has been engaged in building operations.
Joseph Willard is a counselor-at-law, and has been city solicitor since the spring of 1884. He was elected immediately after attaining his majority, and is the youngest man who ever held the office.
Mr. Morgan's second marriage, with Mrs. Mertie C. Webster, daughter of Rev. Wm. P. Maul, of Camden, occurred September . 1, 1886.
