Found in John Albert Stewart's (raised in Halltown)
papers after he died December 7, 2001.

This is an original news clipping that may have been a relative. I
don't know who this family is; can anyone help me?

In Memory of Mrs. McDorman
Mrs. Martha A. (Nicholson)
McDorman, whose death occured
November 30, 1928, was the
Wife of the later J.P. McDorman,
prominent farmer, stockman
And financier of Halltown, Mo.
With her death marks the pass-
ing of the McDorman family,
well and favorably known in this
community. Their long and
useful life of more than four
score years enabled them to be
acquainted with three and four
generations of the families of
many people. They valued high-
ly and honorable and respectable
life, and taught in a forceful and
effective way by setting the ex-
ample of living one. The fun-
eral of Aunt Martha Ann, as eh
was familiarly known was held
at the Halltown tabernacle
church Sunday, December 2,
with the pastor conducting the
service. The high esteen in
which she was held was attested
by the large crowd that was
present. Singing was furnished
by a boys and girls quartette. Six
of her grand nephews acted as
pall-bearers. The bier was cov-
ered with a blanket of glowers
bearing the inscription. "Aunt
Martha Ann". Burial was made
in the Halltown cemetery along-
side that of her husband. Thus
has come to a close her earthly
career having now joined the
silent city of the dead, but she
leaves behind a memory cherish-
ed by all who knew her.
