From The North Midland Times newspaper, Friday 11 May 1934:
Farm Tragedy - Thrown from Horse - Young Man Killed
"Alexander Stephen Morgan (22), a well-known and popular young man of Three Springs, died on Wednesday last, as a result of injuries sustained when he fell whilst mounting his horse a few hours previously. The deceased was the son of Mr. and Mrs. S. Morgan, who own a farming property a few miles from the town. The accident occurred about six o'clock in the morning. The young man had gone out on his pony, riding with only a bridle and no saddle, to bring in the team horses. When attempting to mount his horse while he was doing this he fell on his head. He felt all aright, however, and was bale to bring in the horses and feed them. Mr. Morgan, on returning to the house, mentioned to his mother that he had had a fall, but it was not till later that he began to feel any ill effect. On his condition becoming worse Dr. Mayrhofer was summoned and the injured man was taken in the Three Springs hospital. Here he passed away shortly after midday through haemorrhage resulting from a fracture of the skull above the right temple. The deceased, who was a prominent member of the Three Springs football team, was the eldest boy of the family, and he and his sisters have been frequent visitors at Carnamah dances. The funeral will take place this (Friday) afternoon at 3 p.m."
