Peter moved often and tried many occupations. He worked for the Santa F e Railroad for years after the war. In 1906 he bought a 40 acre vineyard. He served in the Civil War with his half brother Aaron Morgan and friend Nate Kerst. Jane Campbell, his great-great granddaughter, is transcribing his diary as of 1996. A photo of Peter, Aaron and Nate is with the diary.
He joined Company I ("Eye"), 118th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, at Lima, Oh io on 1 Aug 1862.
Summary of locations: first 10 months as Kentucky Central RR guard; eas tern Tennessee with Burnside; Siege of Knoxville; fighting at Mossy Creek, Sweetwater, Loudon, Kingston; May 1864 joined Sherman on Atlanta campaign; Buzzard's Roost, Kennesaw Mountain, Snake Creek Gap; at Lovejoy station under Thomas; battles of Spring Hill, Franklin, Nashville; through Washington and Alexandria VA, to Smithville NC; taking of Fort Anderson, Fort Wilmington, and Fort Goldsborough; marched to Salisbury NC for guard duty until June 28, 1865; transferred to head of Chesapeake Bay, to Cleveland. Mustered out and discharged - never wounded. His half-brother Aaron died of typhoid fever in 1864 near Kenesaw Mountain.
Flowery biographies of Peter and son Harry were printed in "History Of F resno County California" by Paul E. Vendor, published by the Historic Record Company, L. A., CA 1919. Family members said they would hardly have recognized them from the glowing descriptions.
Vera Morgan Pack, wrote the following of the Morgan family: "My grandfa ther, Peter Milton Morgan, aged 19 during his first year in the Union Army, and my grandmother, Catherine Mathis (Kate), were from Ohio. They were married after peace was declared. With their small daughter Iza, and a number of relatives, including several of the Mathis family and Aunt Murilla (Marilla) Morgan Ragan with her husband John, an Army buddy of my grandfather's, they followed the railroad to Kansas.
"My grandmother was not quite ready for my father's birth, so they foun d an old doctor who gave her something which delayed his arrival by a month, until they had a sod house ready in Sedgwick, Harvey County (should be Reno County ), Kansas. On Feb 13th, 1871, Harry Clarence Morgan, weighing 15 pounds, arrived....Exactly two years to the day later, a second son was born. He had no real name until he chose one for himself - Claude Duval.
"Grandpa Morgan was a railroad carpenter for years. Grandmother Kate di ed when my father was 19. Grandfather remarried a widow, Mary Sager, who had a lovely daughter Blanche, about Iza's age....Grandpa and Aunt Mary were together until her death about 20 or 25 years later. They lived in Great Bend, Kansas."
"Grandpa Morgan came to us then (referring to the birth/death of baby W alter) and after the San Francisco earthquake, came to Fresno to the Johnston's, Aunt Iza's widower."
"Grandpa Morgan had come to Fresno and had persuaded my folks to come o ut and go on a ranch he had found near Clovis in the Garfield Colony. ... We arrived on a foggy February day. ... I went to Johnston's with Blanche."
"He decided he was not going to be a burden on Mother, so he finally we nt to the Soldier's Home where he developed diabetic gangrene and a foot was amputated. He died there and was buried in Fresno."
