Morley studied accounting at Valparaiso University. After he and Ann married, he came back to around North English and farmed for a few years. They also operated the Hotel in North English for several years while their son Harold was growing up. They finally moved to Chicago where he worked in the theaters as an operator of films for many years. He became a valued employee and attained a good executive position. They moved to a warmer climate because of his failing health and lived with his son Hal for many years in Atlanta, Georgia. Ann also kept house for Hal in Atlanta.

Mary Ferne (Morrison) Franklin thought Morley might have studied electrical engineering at the Univ. of Iowa.
