I’ve taken the available information and identified a potential match. I’ve reached out to the owner of the tree to see if they can validate that their Morris is the same as this one who is pictured.

Research is difficult in this time period due to the the worst Genealogical Record fire in US History at the St. Louis Veterans Personnel records center. It destroyed something like 80% of all personnel records from WWI & WWII particularly for the Army and Air Force service members. So, there is little info available to work from. The other tragic genealogical fire of epic proportions was the loss of the 1890 Census to a fire. Less than 1% of the pages survive.
Here are some pictures of the fire just to give you an idea of the enormity of the loss.
