John Theodore Morrell (1894-1985) was twenty-three years old when the Army called him off his family's farm to serve in the First World War. He returned to start his own family, first in Schuyler County, Illinois, then in the village of Sciota where five generations would live. This short book is a memorial to John, his ancestors, and his descendants who have passed, and a record for those who are curious about Morrell family history.
