Parents names in obituary noted as Edward Moorman and Mahaley Jane ___. May also want to research Edwin Moorman and Hallie Jane; and maiden name of 'Elwood' for Mahaley "Hattie". His obit also mentioned a surviving brother, Ernest Moorman. Could he have had another brother who predeceased him, named Eugene Moorman (1879-1933).
