The voluminousness of Willis V. Morris's entry, paired with the terseness of Will's entry, leads me to suspect that the officers themselves submitted the information. (And I think I found corroboration of that elsewhere.) Willis was killed in a sports accident on July 17, 1931. What was the sport? I couldn't find out. By the way, his middle name was Virlin. Here's the source of my information:

BREVET-MAJOR-GENERAL GEORGE W. CULLUM
As noted in the pages for the other Biographical Register pages, Wikipedia says:
George Washington Cullum (25 February 1809 – 28 February 1892) was an American soldier, engineer and writer. He worked as the supervising engineer on the building and repair of many fortifications across the country. Cullum served as a general in the Union Army during the American Civil War, primarily in the Western Theater and served as the 16th WiSuperintendent of the United States Military Academy.

Here's the Cullum's Register entry for Lt. Braden. Sort of interesting.

SEEMANN & PETERS, PRINTERS
As also noted for Will's pages in the 1920 Biographical Register: From
https://saginawcountyhalloffame4.org/charles-peters
I got:
Together in 1880, Charles Peters and Joseph Seemann started a printing firm, Seemann & Peters which published “The Saginaw Evening News” now “The Saginaw News.” The paper was published every day except Sunday.
I don't know how they were chosen to print this.
