A physician, scholar, and an accomplished linguist and writer, formerly Recording Secretary of the Georgia Medical Society; the Society being partly founded by one of his ancestors, Dr. Henry Bourquin. He translated and read parts of the works of Claude Bernard before the Society.

During the Indian Wars in Florida, Dr. Morel served with distinction under Colonel Harney. At the commencement of the Civil War he volunteered and was accepted as a Surgeon in the Georgia State Troops. Later he held the rank of full Surgeon in the regular army of the Confederate States. He was then assigned to duty under General Lawton, and continued, until the conclusion of hostilities and the surrender of the Confederate forces, to perform the duties of his position. For a considerable part of the time he was in charge of a hospital in Florida.

After the War he accepted the chair of Physiology in the Oglethorpe Medical College, and later was for several years Professor of Anatomy in the Kentucky School of Medicine at Louisville.

In the yellow fever epidemics of 1854 and 1876 in Georgia, Dr. Morel was faithful to his duties as a physician, and during the latter visitation, in addition to his attendance upon the sick, was in charge of the city dispensary. During the latter years of his life, he retired from the active practice of his profession, and devoted himself and his entire time and attention to the pursuit of literature. He was well-known as a learned and forcible writer of medical works, his chief contribution to medical bibliography being his translation of Claude Bernard's "Physiology of the Heart." At his advanced age, in 1900, Dr. Morel still retained much of his brilliancy of mind and fluency of speech. His final illness was of short duration. Compiled from a newspaper clipping.
