Martha  Lee Wainwright Morgan, born November 10, 1920, passed away June 2, 2009 at her residence. She was the oldest daughter of Timothy and Katie Wainwright. Martha was born in Brantley County, but moved to Charlton County as a teenager.  She had many jobs before her marriage, her favorite being school bus driver and cook for the Uptonville School. In November, 1945 she married Colonel Morgan and began a very happy life that lasted 50 years until his death in 1995. Together they ran a very successful business, Morgan's Bait and Tackle. She was always by his side unless she was doing something for one of her daughters, Mary Frances and Marward.  Martha's other great love was her church.  She was the only surviving charter member of Grace Chapel Baptist Church.
