MCMORDIE, FRANK
Frank McMordie was a native of Tennessee, who, in the early 50's, came to Texas and settled in Williamson County, then a frontier abounding in Indians. He selected a location at Round Rock, where he engaged in farming and stock raising, and was fairly successful, considering the conditions of the country at that time. In 1885 he moved to Coryell County, where he resided until November, 1892, when he moved to Hardeman County. Of this last named County he served as County Commissioner. He was a plain man, without political aspirations, but he acted well his part in life and lived to the ripe age of seventy-four years. He died in Hamilton County, Texas, at the home of his son, Dr. W. E. McMordie, in 1906, and was buried at Gatesville, the Masonic Order, of which he was a member, performing their solemn ceremony at the grave. During the Civil war he had served as a member of Captain Armstrong's company, and his soldier life covered the greater part of the war.
