When did Lee Morgan die?

I am searching for information about Lee Morgan, born Sept., 1845 in Missouri, father born in MO, mother born in Kentucky. In 1900, Lee Morgan was living in Encampment Umatilla County, OR with his wife Clara, born March 1849 in PA, and stepdaughter Gladys McCabe, born July 1889 in Oregon. In 1900 Lee and Clara Morgan had been married for four years. Are there marriage records for Oregon in 1896? Does anyone know when and where Lee Morgan died?

Hi Carolyn:

His given name looks to be Leander E Morgan. He and Clara were divorced in Marion County in 1907.

Case# 8844
Name Morgan, Leander vs Clara A
Date 1907

County Marion

Looks like he got remarried:

Name Morgan, Leander E & Aholt, Sarah E (Mrs)

And according to the 1910 Census (Marion County) they were married 1 year.

You should be able to acquire the date of marriage to Clara by obtaining the divorce records from Marion County.
Here's when he passed away:

For more information on him you can order his death certificate from the Oregon State Archives or post for a lookup on the Marion County board.

Ohhhh''' found his date of marriage (to Sarah):

Dear Laura, Thank you for so much information! I was shocked when another researcher told me that my distant cousin Clara was married to Lee [Leander] Morgan. I'm not surprised that they divorced after 11 years of marriage, because in the 1910 census Clara is back in Neodesha, Kansas living with her son Robert. Leander Morgan was the third of Clara Hoskinson's four husbands. Her brother Stuart also had four wives, so this family tended to marry and divorce a lot!
