Warning: In-laws can be hazardous to your wealth!  Golddiggers come in both genders.  Liars and cowards are one in the same.

Let's go to Farm and Fleet, Tom.  I might see some old farmer I know. Hey, ain't that Jimmy Tyler?

Watch Lavern's visit counter.   Every single digit is a first time visitor to this website.  More everyday  Wow!

In 1998, Officials of two longtime farm services firms in Will and Grundy Counties announced Thursday that they have merged their two companies. James Tyler & Sons Inc. of Elwood and Ty-Walk Liquid Sales Inc. of Minooka have combined to form Tyler-Walker Ag Services. The merger creates one of the largest providers of agricultural services in northern Illinois, with annual sales expected to exceed $50 million. The company will maintain offices in Elwood and Minooka. But TyWalk failed and was auctioned off on October 1, 2001. 

 

Bad Teacher
For most, teaching is an honorable profession -- except for Elizabeth (Cameron Diaz). The foul-mouthed, boozy woman can't wait to marry a rich man and quit her job, but she has to rethink her plans when her sugar daddy dumps her. Then Scott Delacorte (Justin Timberlake), a substitute teacher who's cute and rich, arrives. Elizabeth can't wait to sink her teeth into a new meal ticket, but she faces stiff competition from Amy (Lucy Punch), a popular and perky colleague. 

Do people really marry for...gain?  Yes.  And golddiggers come in both genders.  ...  A unique Illinois law is the statutory custodial claim. If you live with and take care of a disabled immediate family member for at least three years, [like from 2007 to 2010] you can make claim on that person's estate after he or she dies. This is considered a first-class claim, which gives it priority over everything but funeral and estate representation expenses........

    A funny movie.  But in real life, you can't afford your dream farm, so why not find and marry someone who stands to inherit a farm or two.  You kiss your spouse's uncle's ass, alienate your spouse's siblings from that uncle with lies and crying jags.  Finally, you make damn sure your spouse inherits his land and everything else he has.  Bingo!  You hit the jackpot!  Easy street.  So what did Patti Balstrode and Steve Brockman bring to the marriage table besides their dreams of owning someone else's land?  What assets did they stand to inherit from their families?  Right.  Lavern Morgan's last will and testament speaks for itself.  He was 94, hearing and sight impaired.  Desperately lonely with only two friends, one of two nieces, Debbie Brockman and one of three nephews, Tom O'Connor.  They got everything.  More below....

  My precious mother...Ellen O'Connor..her Dad and my grampa..Ira Morgan and Ira's grampa Moses Morgan --- Ira Morgan Road

     

So what is located at 20200 Ira Morgan Road near Elwood, Illinois?  A Bissell midwest warehouse.

By nature, farmers are greedy..greedy for land and higher yields.  The late Lavern Morgan and his nephew, Tom O'Connor, set new levels in greed.  They did it to their own family.  Tom [Patti] O'Connor and Debbie [Steve] Brockman wound up with Lavern's entire estate, 280 acres and $1.5 million in cash.   Tom and Debbie convinced Lavern Morgan to throw their own mother [his sister], two brothers [Terry and me] and a sister [Maureen and her 3 kids] under the bus so only they, their spouses and their children would benefit.  They would not have to buy out our land interests because Lavern left no one else anything.  Slick.  They also made sure Kim Brockman and Tom O'Connor Jr. would be the only two kids in the line of descent.  Lavern deeded his 280 acres into a trust in 2008 [he was 93] and he signed his last will in 2009 [he was 94].  Tom and Debbie then went after Ellen's land and money...AGAIN... using political ties and false allegations but it didn't work.  Mom had done her estate planning many years before.  Tom and Debbie wanted everything but they were too late.  Lavern died at 95 in 2010. Lavern's will is estimated at $7 million and is currently under review in probate court for undue influence, fiduciary issues, etc.  It stinks.  Will County Judge Paula Gomora is presiding. 

1] Ellen was never better off financially in 1974 but she was broke by June of 1992 due to funding Tom O'Connor's farming operation and poor asset management.  Her farm was gone by foreclosure unless $115,000 debt was paid to Tyler Grain of Elwood, Il. by December 1, 1992.  Terry and I paid Tylers on November 12, 1992 and restored Mom's land back to her name only.

2] Debbie and her husband Steve Brockman offered to BUY OUT Ellen's entire farm with her home for $300,000 in 1992.  Ellen rejected their offer.

3] Lavern Morgan gave White Sox owner, Jerry Reinsdorf, an option to buy his 200 acre Manhattan farm for $10 million.

4] Terry and I were in Lavern Morgan's prior wills.

5] more to come.  

                    
                                   Debbie Brockman  Tom O'Connor   James A. Tyler and son, James R. "JIMMY" Tyler [Tyler president in 1992]  

The biggest mistake "smart" people make is thinking no one else is smarter.  Lavern Morgan hated my father, Frank O'Connor

  

  My dear late uncle, Lavern Morgan, inherited 280 acres of land from Ellen's father, but he wanted her land, too!  Nice try Lavern..... but it didn't work.

  Welcome.   In 1992, I couldn't understand why my sister,  Debbie [O'Connnor] Brockman and her husband Steve, would even consider taking advantage of

our mother, Ellen O'Connor .  Instead of trying to help Mom, the Brockmans offered Ellen $300,000 for her entire Elwood farm and her home.  It was unconscionable.  But now, it seems to have been just another part of a dirty scheme to seperate Ellen O'Connor from her land and her money.  Where would she be today had she taken Brockman's offer?  After paying her debts, welfare or Sunnyland?  Losing her farm would have devastated Mom.  So now the Brockmans don't recall it.  Isn't that convenient?  But guess what?  Debbie Brockman didn't get her way and went bonkers on a 1992 audio tape which proves they made that $300,000 offer....

I said to Debbie, "Let me put it this way, $300,000 ain't even a down payment".  She replied, "F u@k you, Den!  Get off the G@d d@mn phone"! Go ahead....Deny it Debo!

On a dreary, 1992 spring evening, my brother Terry and I were asked to meet at the Brockman's home in Joliet.  My brother-in-law, Steve Brockman, announced, that  Ellen was about to lose 45 acres of land unless the James Tyler grain elevator was paid $115,000 on a note, before December 1, 1992.  Terry and I discovered that Ellen had already paid Tylers $111,000 of [interest only] on Tyler's so-called loan.  Briefly, Tyler grain had allowed my Dad's unsecured account to snowball interest until the balance was equal to the value of Ellen's land.  Then they got control of Ellen's land to secure the $110,000 bad debt balance..more later.  We also learned Ellen had borrowed another $100,000 in 1985 from Farmer's Home Loan [FMHA].  What for?  We know $52,113 went to Tyler grain for interest on the 1982 note.  Terry and I had been kept in the dark for ten years.

My sister, Debbie Brockman, and her husband Steve were privy to Ellen's situation long before they told us.  Brockman went to the Tyler grain elevator on a regular basis.  He said Jimmy Tyler had made him aware of it.  Debbie said, "This could ruin Tom [O'Connor], financially"?  FIRST RED FLAG!!!  What about your MOTHER, Debbie?  Hello?

Terry, the Brockmans and I went to the office of Lavern Morgan's CPA, James Halsted.  Lavern was Ellen's brother.  The Brockmans announced their intent to buy Ellen's 45 acres for what she owed Tyler grain...$115,000 regardless of it's prime location.  SECOND RED FLAG!!!  No land appraisal and why you, Brockmans?  Debbie's answer was at least the land will be in the family!  Whose family?  The Brockman's family.

Feeling confident Ellen would accept the offer, Debbie spiked, "Can we do it all"?   Halsted quipped, "Lavern... has resources"! THIRD RED FLAG!!!  Why did Halsted bring up Lavern's financial status?  Perhaps Lavern was funding the $300,000, using Brockman as a strawman buyer?  Terry and I looked at each other in disbelief.  Brockman said, "The other kids ain't gonna like it, but I'm going to offer Ellen, $300,000 for everything...117 acres with her house and buildings.  That old house needs a lot of work". 

Outside Halsted's office, Steve snarled, "You blew it Debbie!  There goes 18 years of marriage right down the drain"!  [They married in 1974].  Was your marriage to Debbie a bad investment Brockman?  Why did you marry a landowner's daughter?    There's a big difference between working class and middle class.  I understand.

So later the same day, Debbie and Steve Brockman made their ridiculous $300,000 offer to Ellen for everything she owned.  Ellen was hurt and shocked but told her daughter, "No thanks, Debbie.  My farm is not for sale"!

Debbie was very upset that she didn't get her way.  Months passed by and on November 12, 1992, with 18 days to spare, my brother Terry O'Connor and I paid Jimmy Tyler $115,000 cash which saved our mother's farm from foreclosure and her dignity.  Terry and I helped Ellen rebuild herself, emotionally and financially. 

We put Mom's land back in her name and vowed to never let anything like that, ever happen to her, again.  Terry and I became her caregivers for the next 18 years.  In 2006, Ellen bought a new $55,000 Cadillac DTS.  Brockmans refused to see it at their house.  They drove to Ellen's house and demanded to know, "Where's our new Cadillac, Mom"?  At 94, Ellen still recalls that miserable four and a half hour visit.  Four ineffective Debo crying jags.  The nerve. 

Later that year, Ellen sold Terry and me her farm for $1.8 million.  We set up the June O'Connor  trust which today, provides 100% of Ellen's care costs.  Her other son, Tom O'Connor, and her daughter, Debbie Brockman, visit Mom..but pay ...... nothing.  So how could Ellen inherit her farms... free and clear ... only to end up bankrupt in a few short years?  Simple.  She went broke setting up her son, Tom as a new farmer  with John Deere equipment, a grain bin, etc.

Remove that crap, from Ellen's life, and her financial problems?.. don't happen.  It was nothing but pure greed.  More details later.

            A farmer is a person, engaged in agriculture, who raises living organisms for food or raw materials, generally including livestockhusbandry and growing crops such as produce and grain. A farmer might own the farmed land or might work as a labourer on land owned by others; but in advanced economies, a farmer is usually a farm owner, while employees of the farm are farm workers, farmhands, etc.  In 1944, Frank O'Connor, a farm worker [tenant farmer], married Ellen Morgan, a farm owner's daughter.  Ellen inherited her land in 1974.  Prior to that, Frank sharecropped the land.  [50-50 splits on expenses and income]

Frank used a hired man, a farm worker, to do field work, until I was able to do it, ending that expense.  I was in 5th grade.  I helped Dad with that dirty, hard labor for 11 years.  My pay was the same room and board my brothers and sisters received, without doing any work.  My little brothers, Tom and Terry, seven years younger, started helping later.  

When Ellen inherited her land, free and clear, in her name only, it was time for her to cash rent out her land and time for Frank to retire.   BUT NO..her son, Tom, smelled opportunity.  Tom's agenda would include using Frank to get new farm equipment with Ellen's equity.  Then phase Frank out and keep Terry and me from getting in as equal partners.  Take in all the income.  Ellen trusted Tom...that proved to be a costly mistake...a mistake that ruined her, financially.

Tom O'Connor worked at Cat on the burr bench but didn't have the money to buy farm equipment.  So he started by trading in the family tractor, a Case 930, on a John Deere tractor with an air conditioned cab and front end assist with a 3 point hitch.  It was incompatible with any of the old machinery Frank had.  So now Tom needed more John Deere equipment.   Ellen's farm equity became Tom's bank.  He found the equipment and Ellen paid for it.  Period.  No interest.  And no repayment until an auction was to be held.  Mom was systematically stripped of her equity and in 1992, she nearly lost her farms.

Example of Ellen's wasted equity?  She paid $29,000 for this grain bin in 1978 because Tom didn't want to wait in line at the Tyler grain elevator?
 

 Lavern and Tom..Big shots on their mother's money

  James A. Tyler [far left] and his son, James R. "JIMMY" Tyler

  James A. Tyler was lying in wait....for Ellen O'Connor to default on her 1985 $100,000 federal farm loan [FmHA] ...of which his company took

$52,113 as interest on a dubious 1982 $110,000 ICC note secured by Ellen's land which we still allege she was tricked into signing. 

Ellen "June" is right handed.  Who signed the LEFT HANDED "J. O"Connor" on this UNSECURED note, left handed TOM OCONNOR?  WAS THIS PART OF YOUR INSIDIOUS PLAN?

To sell out your own mother..... for your gain?

James A. Tyler planned to buy the paper [get an assignment on the debt] on Ellen's $100,000 FmHA loan.  He would foreclose and  then will Ellen's farm

to his son, Jeff Tyler.  But he was cut off at the pass by Ellen's sons, Dennis and Terry O'Connor! 

Upon discovery, we found this statement in Tyler's attorney "Joe Tryner" files.  Joe made a few notes on it....in the circles

 

The next day, November 12, 1992, Dennis and Terry O'Connor, paid Jimmy Tyler $114,500 [cash] 

 

 

 

Long story short...

Frank and Ellen were James Tyler and Sons [grain elevator custom ers] since they married in 1944.  Frank farmed land owned by Ellen's father, Ira Morgan. [Ira was a wealthy farmer and

a grandson of [1848] Will County pioneer settlor, Moses Morgan [of New York]. Ira Morgan Road on Illinois Rt. 53, near Elwood, is named in his memory.  Frank and Ellen struggled but

raised five children.  Dennis was sent to a private high school.  In 1974, Ellen inherits her farms, debt free.  That same year, both of her daughters got married.   Debbie married

Steve Brockman, a farm hand for Gorman O'Reilly and Maureen married George Hicks, a time keeper at Cat.  Apparently, both had great expectations.  Frank still farmed but retired

from driving the Elwood school bus.  A few people had targeted Ellen's land and her equity  It was the beginning of Ellen's financial demise.  more to come
