Morgan Llewellyn, secretary
and treasurer of the Chattanooga Foundry and Pipe Works, is a native of Lehigh
County, Penn., born January 20, 1846, and the son of William and Mary (Morgans)
Llewellyn, both natives of Wales. Our subject was reared to manhood in his
native State, and received a fair academic education. Early in life he engaged
in the iron business, and later engaged in mercantile pursuits for himself at
Alliance, Ohio. In 1869 he came to Tennessee, and engaged in the mercantile
business at Knoxville, and then engaged in the coal business thirty miles above
that city, being superintendent of the mines for eight years. He moved to
Washington, D. C., in 1879, and accepted a position as clerk in the postoffice
department, where he continued four years. In 1883, he resigned to re-enter the
coal business at Oliver Springs, Tenn., owning an interest in the Winters Gap
Coal Company of that place at the present time, and is secretary and treasurer
of the same. June, 1884, he came to Chattanooga, and accepted a position as
bookkeeper with the Chattanooga Foundry & Pipe Works, was elected secretary
in July, 1885, and treasurer in July, 1886, being also one of its stockholders.
In 1868 he wedded Sallie A. Powell of Pennsylvania, and four living children
resulted from this union-two sons and two daughters. Mr. Llewellyn is a
Republican, a Knight of Honor, a Royal Arch Mason, and a member of the
