During his time in California, Morahan was acquainted with the comedian Will Rogers and created an equestrian statue of him from memory after his death.[9] Gutzon Borglum, a friend, and the sculptor of Mount Rushmore, took a break from that project to help him finish Santa Monica on time for the unveiling.[10]
Morahan was married to Grace Storey Putnam (an artist and the creator of the Bye-Lo baby doll) from 1927 to 1941.[11][12] Morahan and his wife moved to Santa Monica in 1930.[8] He had a daughter, Adele Morahan, and a stepson, George C. Putnam[1] (whose biological father was the sculptor Arthur Putnam).[12] Morahan died in 1949 in Santa Monica, at the age of 80.[1]
