William J. Morrell, farmer, Otsego township, was born in the township where 
he still resides, May 11, 1879, son of James W. and Henrietta Morrell. He 
remained at home until he was about twenty-two years of age, and then rented 
the home place for a while. Later he rented eighty acres on section 22, 
Otsego township, which he now owns. He also rents 120 acres in Monticello 
township, which he operates in connection with the home place. He carries
on general farming and has been very successful. He is an independent voter, 
and has been supervisor of the township, in which capacity he has done good 
service. Mr. Morrell was married November 1, 1905, to Jennie Crozier, and 
they have four children: Harold William, Vernon, Bernice and Floyd. The 
family faith is that of the Methodist Episcopal church.
