Mr. C.E. Morgantharp was a director of a gun club in Cleveland and probably was the person who received the gun for Wheal.

Another interesting part of the gun's history is that I found a trap shooter from Cincinnati named Morganthaler. I think this is who ordered the Vulcan barrels in 1908. He was listed in Forest and Stream, volume 76, March 4, 1911 competing at a live pigeon shoot in Kentucky. The article stated that live pigeon shooting was forbidden in Ohio but still legal in Kentucky.
