It only came to me and I thought others might have some links to your line. Looked in the book, "Hallsville Cemetery, A History of It's People" and found only one mention of a GORMAN, page 97 says a Theola Dollahite married Bill Gorman. They had one child, Glenn. Theloa died at the untimely age of forty-five. (Does not give dates) The index has two listings for the surname of KOON, Mrs. Ira Koon on page 164 and Susan Luvenia KOON on page 83. Mrs. Ira Koon's name is mentioned as a neighbor to Robert JOHNSON. Susan Luvenia KOON is shown married to James Henry CROFT. Sorry there wasn't more. Hope your research is going well. Jackie
