I'm contributing a bit of historical information about someone formerly tied to Angostura Bitters in the US. I was recently out exploring and took this selfie of the gravesite of one "Frank Morgan."

Here are a few details about this nice gentleman and his affiliation with Angostura Bitters:

• He was born into a well-to-do family that formerly distributed Angostura Bitters in the United States.
• He was the youngest of eleven children (six boys and five girls) of the co-founder of the Angostura-Wuppermann Corporation which marketed bitters for drinks and cocktails.
• He is interred at Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, New York, USA, in section #168, plot #14447.

But - aside from Angostura Bitters, can anyone tell me what Frank Morgan is BEST known for? Here are some hints:

• He was a great and powerful man who demonstrated to all that he was a real giver.
• He once briefly worked behind a thick veil and was very intimidating.
• He was loved by millions and is still remembered and loved to this day.
