'''Morgan Lind Korkin''' (August 19, 1314 - December 30, 1392) was a [[Picketralia|Picketralian]] politician who served as the last Rural Representative from 1360 until the passage of the Counties Act in 1373, and as the [[Snowdon County]] representative until his death in 1392. A member of the [[Belleisle Party]], he is widely credited for many monumental bills in Picketralia's history, including the Counties Act and the Postal Improvement Act of 1371. 

In 1389, the old Pigot School Bridge that went over the [[Stimpton River]], connecting [[Bartholomeu County]] and [[Mordor County]], was demolished, and a new stone bridge was built in it's place, and named the Morgan Korkin Bridge. It was dedicated on January 1, 1390, in a dedication ceremony attended by Korkin, his wife Culis Korkin, and [[King Mason I]].

He died from old age on December 30, 1392, at his modest home in [[Sand Dune City]]. His funeral on January 2, 1393, was attended by hundreds of people and thousands lined the streets of Stimpton as his casket cortege made it's way to the Capitol for a small family service inside the Senate Chamber. His casket was temporarily interred in the vault at [[Calyur Chapel]] before being interred inside the Morgan Korkin Memorial Chapel inside the Picketralian Capitol in May of 1393 after it was completed
