Talk:Julius Sterling Morton

$$Insert formula here$$

Monroe residency?
The article states that Morton was raised in Detroit, and then moved to Nebraska after graduating from U of M. If this was the case, when did he live in Monroe, Michigan? The articles on both Monroe County and the city of Monroe state that Morton lived there for 20 years (1934-1954), starting from when he would have been 2 years old. If this is the case, when would he have been raised in Detroit?

 * I've rewritten the first part of the bio based on James C. Olson's 1942 biography, with plenty of citations. Detroit's only mentioned in passing (Monroe's described as south of Detroit), with no suggestion that JSM ever lived there.  Olson states that JSM's father, J. D. Morton, eventually moved to Detroit; a misreading of that may have led to the introduction of error into this poorly-sourced article. Ammodramus (talk) 01:53, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
