Biography

Fayette Benjamin Morrison is born on August 13, 1911, in New York, the son of Glenn Henderson Morrison (1885-1970) and Isadore Bertha Diltz (1888-1988) [7][8]. He is likely born in Franklinville (his parents live in Franklinville in the 1910 census records). Franklinville is 86 kilometres by road south of Buffalo.

The first record of him that has been found is the New York state census of 1915 [1]. He is three years old, living with his family in Franklinville. In the 1920 census, he is eight years old, living with his parents and four siblings in Franklinville [2]. His father works in a knife factory. The 1925 state census shows him in the same place at the age of 13 [3].

In the 1930 census records, Fayette is now 18 years old, living with his family in Franklinville, and working in a milk plant [4]. He is still with his family in the US 1940 census records [5]. His father still works in a knife factory (Ontario Knife Factory) and now Fayette (“Fay”) who is 28-years old, works with his father in the same factory. Another person is also working in this factory – Edna C. Myrick.

Fayette marries Edna C. Myrick on January 9, 1941, in South Wales, Erie County, New York. [8] South Wales is 28 kilometres by road north of Franklinville. They have at least two children:

• William F. Morrison c1942-?s

• Robert G. Morrison c1949-?

In the 1950 census records, Fayette and Edna are living in Franklinville with their two children [6]. Fayette is working as an inspector in a radio plant.

Fayette dies on November 28, 2000, in Montour Falls, Schuyler County, New York and he is buried in the Mount Prospect Cemetery in Franklinville, New York [7][8]. His parents and some of his siblings are buried in the same place. Edna dies two years later and is buried with Fayette.
