Bio and Links
Bio Photo Born 02 May 1943 to Percy Iven & Flossie Lola(Love)Morrison in Kankakee, IL. Attended school in the Kankakee area until I graduated from Kankakee Senior High School in 1961. Graduated with a BS Degree from Illinois State University, Normal, IL., in 1965. Taught in Rich Township Schools, District 227, Richton Park, IL., for the next 35 years. During that time, I earned a Master's Degree from the University of Illinois at Champaign/Urbana, IL. I completed all the requirements for a doctorate in history from Illinois State University except for the last chapter of my dissertation; hence I am classified as "ABD"--all but dissertation. Retired from Rich Township(Rich South)in 2000.

I then went to work for the Forest Preserve District of Will County in their "Operations" Department. I was stationed at the Monee Reservoir, just south of Monee, IL., for eight years, before I retired from that position. My intentions are to stay retired, but one never knows,

Married twice. Have two sons, Darren Ray (deceased-04 Jan 2010) & Scott Douglas Morrison. Have lived in unincorporated Monee since 1982 in the log cabin home I and my wife built on 2 1/2 wooded acres. Completed a "Love Family" history in 1994 for my Mother's side of the family--the Loves. Am currently working on a family history of the Morrisons. Both histories are posted on MyFamily.com--The Loves' Family History & "OneIllinoisMorrison Family." Invitations are sent out to interested parties so they may participate on the sites.

I take a great deal of pride in being a contributor to Find A Grave. All pictures taken are sent through several photo programs to come up with the best enhanced picture possible before it is posted to a memorial. The last thing I wish to do is offend anyone with the postings I make to Find A Grave. If you object to any posting, please alert me and I will remove it. Please do not send me obituaries to post to memorials I have created. Find A Grave specifically suggests "It is best to not copy obituary notices from newspapers... to memorials..."

I prefer you leave a public message, but you may email if you wish.

Hello Don,

Hope you are doing well. Would you mind adding Louise's maiden name as "Schlauder"? Her Find A Grave Memorial# 42714018.

Thank You,

Hi Don!
Hope all is well.
I messaged you a while back about an abandoned cemetery on the northwest corner of Torrence and Richton roads in Crete.

Not only does it exist but we have the landowners permission to photograph it.

It's the Kyle/Kile/Seehausen/Hub cemetery, the interments are already listed on findagrave!

It's kind of exciting. We will hopefully head out in the spring. I'd love to welcome you if you are interested in joining an interesting day of brush clearing and Crete history!

Just putting the bug in your ear now :)
