He was born on September 5, 1894 in Walton, New York, the son of Howard Mailey Morenus and Martha Strong Cable, and grew up in Indiana, where he attended Dartmouth College. He married Nora T. Smith in International Falls, Minnesota in 1949, and had one son, Richard Cable (Morenus) Franklin, born in 1919, from his first marriage to Catherine Louise Sagar.
In 1940, when he was a successful radio script writer in New York City, he decided to quit the tempo of city life, get out into the open, and live simply and quietly. He had spent several summers camping in Canada, and decided to spend six years on an island on a lake in northern Ontario, the story of which he told in his book Crazy-White-Man (1952). He was also the author of Northland Adventures (1954), Frozen Trails (1956), The Hudson’s Bay Company (1956) and Dew Line: Distant Early Warning, The Miracle of America’s First Line of Defense (1957).
Morenus taught writing for the University of Michigan Extension Service in upper Michigan, lectured widely, and wrote several magazine articles on his experiences in the North.
He died in Chicago, Illinois on February 10, 1968, aged 73.ver menos
