William Yoast Morgan (April 6, 1866 – February 17, 1932) was an American newspaperman, author and politician who served as the 21st Lieutenant Governor of Kansas from 1915 to 1919 under Governor Arthur Capper. He was a member of the Republican Party.
Family and early life
Morgan was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, where his grandfather James Morgan settled after emigrating from Ireland in 1847. Morgan's father William Albert Morgan (1841–1917) was apprenticed to a printer and then served in the Civil War. In 1871 he moved to Cottonwood Falls, Kansas and started the Chase County Leader newspaper, which he continued until retiring in 1903. He also served in both houses of the state legislature. Morgan's mother Wilhelmina (Yoast) Morgan (1843–1910) was active in civic organizations and politics, serving as Mayor of Cottonwood Falls in 1885. Morgan himself was educated in Cottonwood Falls and then at the state university in Lawrence, majoring in journalism.
Morgan married Colie Adair (1872–1958) in November 1890; they had one daughter, Claudia (d. 1958).
Career
After working at the Lawrence Journal for two years, Morgan purchased and edited the Republican in Strong City. He sold that paper after four years and purchased the Emporia Daily Gazette; he operated that until selling it to William Allen White in 1895. He then organized a corporation to purchase and operate The Hutchinson News in Hutchinson, Kansas, where he remained until his death. As of 1912 it had the largest circulation of any newspaper in central Kansas. From 1899 to 1903 he was the state printer.
