Kate Morgan
Kate Morgan (1865-1892) is an Iowan who died under mysterious circumstances, and is thought by some to be a ghost at the Hotel del Coronado in San Diego. 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 November 29, 1892, of what is believed to have been 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.
She is also a Walsall based student who dabbles in writing short fiction, poetry and drama, and a compulsive collector of quotes.
