Obituary | Obituary, Weimar Mercury, November 19, 1948, page 1: McCormick, Stephen Montgomery Death Claims Prominent Citizen S. M. McCormick The community was shocked and stunned on Armistice Day by news of the sudden death of one of its most prominent citizens, Stephen M. McCormick, 65, who suffered a heart attack while working on his farm. Mr. McCormick had taken advantage of the holiday to do some needed chores on the farm, which had been both a hobby and a business with him. After bringing in several sacks of pecans at noon, he told his family he was ging [sic] out to sow some clover seed. Apparently he tried too much strenuous work for one day and as far as is known the heart stroke came at about 4 o'clock that afternoon.
