MARY E. M'CORMACK, PIONEER OF COUNTY, SUCCUMBS AT YODER
Fall, Which Affected Nervous System, Proves Fatal;
Ex-Local Resident
Mrs. Mary Ellen McCormack, 88, who for 66 years had lived on the home farm at Yoder, died at her home Friday after being in a coma four days following a fall last week, which affected her nervous system.
Mary Ellen Feaster, the youngest of 10 children, was born in Illinois, November 1, 1844, and crossed the plains in a covered wagon in 1847, the family settling in this city where the little girl's father, Daniel Feaster, worked as a flour miller for Dr. John McLoughlin. The family later lived at Ilwaco, Wash., and later at Gribble Prairie and Yoder.
Mary Ellen Feaster was married on September 26, 1860, at Brooks, to John Taylor, and to them six children were born, two of whom are still living. After Mr. Taylor's death, which occurred in 1877, his widow was married at Needy on August 8, 1880, to Marion McCormack, who died in 1896. They had three children, two of whom survive. For many years Mrs. McCormack and her daughter, Dolly, have lived together on the home farm.
Surviving Mrs. McCormack are four children, Frank E. Taylor of Yoder and Mrs. Jacob (Margaret E.) Joseph of Portland, Mrs. Edward (Ella) Pullen of Blue Lake Cal., and Miss Dolly McCormack of Yoder. She also leaves one brother, Dalzell Feaster of Portland, and 11 grandchildren, including Charles Taylor of Yoder, Mrs. Ivan Ritten house of this city, Mrs. Earl Smith Mrs. Jessie Laudin and Miss Avis McCormack of Portland.
The remains are at Everhart Funeral home at Molalla. Funeral services probably will be held next week at the Rock Creek Methodist church near Needy, which Mrs. McCormack helped to build.
