Morrelle Charles Christiansen, was born on October 12, 1925, to Carl and Adela (Jepsen) Christiansen near Denison, Iowa. He was baptized into the Lutheran faith on November 22, 1925, in the Trinity Lutheran Church of Grant Township, Ida County.

He entered into the United States Army on January 24, 1945, during WWII. He served in Korea at the end of the war and was honorably discharged on July 30, 1946. On September 22, 1946, Morrelle married the love of his life Darlene Albers in the St. Paul Lutheran Church (Midway) of rural Battle Creek, Iowa. He was employed at the local CO-OP station and started farming with his dad in Ida Grove and later on a farm near Anthon, IA.
