He moved to Madison county, Iowa, in 1856 which was then an unbroken prairie with few settlers. Through the hardships and trials of pioneer life they did their part well. To them were born nine children of whom three sons and two daughters remain to mourn the loss of father. All were present at his death but one daughter who lives in Portland, Oregon.
Since May 1896 he has resided in Winterset. He was brought up in the Friends Church and for over forty years worshiped with them at the Oak Run meeting house. Thus passed away a good man full of years and kind deeds.

Pg 1Obituary
Thomas Clark Moorman was born in Green county, Ohio May 9, 1818 and died in Winterset March 27, 1903. He was married Dec. 1, 1841 to Rhoda A. Bryan, who after sixty-one years of married life still survives him. In 1856 he moved to Madison county and settled on a farm in the southeast part of the county and there resided until 18--, when he moved to Winterset. Nine children were born to them, two dying in childhood and Eli, who died April 1900. He was a long time member of the Oak Run Friend’s church and continued his membership until his death. He has been in frail health for the past six months and suffered a paralytic stroke on March 22d, which hastened his death. Besides his faithful companion, he leaves to revere his memory, children, several of whom are now grandparents, and a large circle of acquaintances, who witness in his departure the end of a life of usefulness and uprightness.
Note: Burial was made in the Winterset cemetery.
