Harold Elsworth Morrell’s birth rests on his 1940 draft registration; the same card names Fallis Mae Morrell as his relative, and his 1974 obituary index entry names a brother, Milford, and daughters Mrs Linda Wilson and Mrs Norma McGavie, none of whom is added here. Needs independent verification: his parentage (son of Charles Henry Morrell and Cora, from the 1920 census household listing, an index entry), the death date, which rests on a newspaper obituary index entry (the age given, 64, fits 1910), and his place of death, which is not stated.[5]
NOTE: Needs independent verification: his 1950 census residence rests on one index entry (undetermined information).

NOTE: The 1950 census names her Norma Morrell; her 2011 obituary index entry names her Norma Jean Poor Mcgavic and a Find a Grave memorial lists her as Norma Jean Morrell Poor, so she married at least once. Her birth day and death day and place rest on that obituary index entry; the 1950 census age of 16 fits a birth on 2 February 1934.
NOTE: Needs independent verification: her birth and death rest on one obituary index entry (secondary information).
