In the 1897 Nephi municipal election, Mary Linton Morgan ran for the office of recorder on the Citizens Reform ticket.[3] Citizens Reform was a third-party attempt at non-partisan politics and part of nationwide Progressive Era politics.[4] The Citizens Reform slate in Nephi supported Prohibition and promised to "do away with chronic office seekers".[3]

The third paragraph mentions Morgan. The fourth paragraph mentions one of Morgan's co-wives, Ida Hunt Udall.

(Second marriage, life in St. Johns)

As an avocational family genealogist, Morgan studied the Morgan, Linton, Sutton, Ellison, Selfridge, and Hamilton lineages.[5] The Institute of American Genealogy's 1934 edition of the Handbook of American Genealogy named Morgan in its list of "leading professional, avocational, and family genealogists of America", titled "Who's Who in Genealogy".[6][7]
