Prominent Clark County farmer and livestock buyer Homer McDorman, 51, of
South Charleston died in University Hospital, Columbus, about midnight
Friday. Mr. McDorman was stricken earlier in the week and had been
undergoing treatment in the hospital's intensive care section. He was moved
to a private room shortly before his death. Details of his illness have not
been disclosed but an autopsy was performed. A spokesman for the hospital
stated no official finds have been determined. Mr. McDorman was active in
Clark County politics, had served for several terms of the southeastern
