NOTE: This is a TEMPORARY WEBSITE ONLY, and is meant as a stopgap until the Main Website has been updated. Some of the notes are incomplete and many of the links will not work. There is still much data to add and conflicts to settle.This tree has been compiled with the help of many contributors. Sincere thanks to all, and apologies to those whose information has not yet been added.
I have tried to verify as much information as possible but errors may exist. Individuals with uncertain details have a (see notes) label attached to their name.
If photos exist, they will be found in the individual's Scrapbook. Click the "ScrapBook" link in the left menu for a list. Scrapbooks can only contain a limited amount of text so I am now adding more presentable feature pages containing notes, photos and links. These pages are shown to the right of their Scrapbooks, but are presently very few. NOTE: The Main Menu (Top Left) will not work when you are in a scrapbook. You will have to use your browser's BACK button to exit or use the "Exit Scrapbook" link below or here.
Details and photos of individuals labelled as living are automatically filtered out of the Tree, however a separate list is available here for living people who have permitted or asked for their details to be published.
If you do find errors, conflicts or would like to update your line please let me know. Webmaster

LILLIE WINDERS MORTON: 20 September 1922 – 12 June 2005
Lillie Winders Morton passed away Sunday afternoon, June 12, 2005, in Portland, Oregon. She was born on September 20, 1922, on a farm in Tama County, Iowa, to Ida and Orville Winders and had seven brothers and sisters. Lillie graduated from Gilman High School in 1940 as valedictorian and then attended Capital City Commercial College in Des Moines, Iowa, where she met her husband-to-be, Thomas Slayton Morton, Jr., from Minneapolis, Minnesota.
They were married on April 24, 1944. Lil worked first for the branch office of Paine, Webber, Jackson & Curtis in Minneapolis and then for Continental Airlines in Denver, Colorado, while Tom completed his tour of duty with the army during World War II. They then moved to Tucson, Arizona, where Tom completed a degree in electrical engineering at the University of Arizona.
Their two children, Thomas Slayton Morton III and Mary Helen Morton, were born in Los Angeles, where the family lived from 1950 until 1969. Lil was very involved in the PTA and managed an American Handicrafts store in Reseda, California, for several years. Tom accepted a job transfer to The Netherlands in 1969 and another to Mexico City in 1970, and then Tom and Lil moved to Missouri City, TX in 1973.
Tom passed away in 1985. Lil was a doll collector for many years and was active in her local doll club, Bluebonnet Bebes of Houston, holding a variety of offices. She served as United Federation of Doll Clubs Region 3 director from 1984 through 1987. She was a great bridge player and a member of her local women’s club. She did volunteer work at her local library for many years and was an avid reader. Lil had the wonderful gift of making friends easily, and she will be deeply missed by many old and new friends as well as by members of her family.
Lil was survived by her son, Tom, and his wife, Diane, and stepson, Thomas, her daughter, Mary Helen, her granddaughter, Brita, her sisters Marguerite and Fern, and many cousins, nieces, and nephews.
An informal gathering, for loved ones and friends, was held in Lil’s memory on Saturday, 23 July 2005 at Southminster Presbyterian Church, Missouri City.
