IS 1T GORMAN !?

GORMAN seems to have first been
- used as a surname in Ireland, but
the first name from which it was de-
rived was Anglo-Saxon and was used
throughout the British isles in early
days This was the name Gormund.
Mund in these old first names had
the significance of protection and the
first syllable "gor" may have come
from a word meaning war. The name
Gormund then would mean war-pro-
lection. Eventually the first name
came TO be German and this was
adopted in Ireland as a last name,
with OGorman, which meant simply
son of Gormund.
The Germans and O'Gormans In this
country all seem to have come from
Ireland Both families have con-
tributed members to congress. There
is Senator James X. O'Gorman and
there was Senator Arthur Pue Cor
man of Maryland and a Representa-
tive James German from Indiana.
Senator Arthur Pue German was
born in Maryland in 1889. The son
of Peter and grandson of John Cor
man, who came ito this country from
Ireland about 1900. settling in Harris
burg, Pa. From that state they went
to Maryland and there the family
settled.
James Sedgwick, a grandson of Ed
ward German Of county Down, Ire
land, was representative from Indiana
Muir1rhere are two suggested
sources for this name. 1t is certainly
sometimes derived from the word
muir, which is a north Of England and
Scotch form for moor. The other sug-
gestion is that it came from the me-
dieval MUIR, the man who kept the
mews-the place where the hawks
were kept while moulting There was
such a person attached to every feu-
dial castle while hawking was in
fashion and 1t would be but natural
if some OF these men derived their
surname from their occupation.

CLUBS AND LODGES WARNED


Fraternal bodies who violate the ma
tional prohibition act are going to
get into trouble in West Virginia,
according to statements of Russell L.
Furbee, assistant district attorney,
and Judge W. E. Baker, himself.
Conspiracy indictments will be lodg-
ed against lodges if necessary, it is
announced. Judge Baker urged that
government officials should petition
for paddock orders and injunctions
to close lodge homes if necessary.
The warning followed the arraign-
ment of a stewart of a Moose club at
Follansbee. He was charged with
having large quantity of home
brew in his possession. The prac-
tice of having Intoxicating drinks on
premises since prohibition and Of
conducting hootchie kootchie dances
has served to bring lodges into bad
repute in several points in West Vir-
ginia.
