He is a native of Indiana, born on January 27, 1842, the son of William and Eleanor (Morgan) Dorman, both natives of Tennessee. Early in their married life the parents settled in Indiana, where, at the age of forty-two the father died. The mother then removed with her family to Iowa, and there, at the age of seventy-two, died, leaving a family of four grown children, Jesse, Elizabeth, Martha, and the subject of this sketch. The mother was a descendant of General Morgan of Revolutionary fame. The father was a farmer all his life. At the age of fourteen Mr. Dorman started in his career independently, beginning by working on a farm. Prior to this time he had attended school in Iowa, and after leaving home he continued his education during the winters. He followed farming in Iowa until 1888, when he came to Washington and located a homestead of one hundred and sixty acres twelve miles northwest of Ritzville. Here he lived eight years, when he sold out and located on a quarter-section of land where he now lives. Later he purchased three hundred and twenty acres, which he has fenced, placed under cultivation and improved with good buildings, orchard and so forth. In 1865 Mr. Dorman was married to Martha J. Knox, daughter of John and Fidelia (Jacobs) Knox, both of whom were born in Virginia. Mrs. Dorman is a member of a family of eleven children, Benjamin F., Thomas J., Martha J., Henry C., John L., Mary E., Alice A., Addie, Louisa, Joseph and Charles. Among these are two pairs of twins, Thomas J. and Martha J., and Alice A. and Addie. To Mr. and Mrs. Dorman have been born these children, whose names and present addresses are as follows: Orpha, Spokane; Lois, married to John M. Woehr, Garfield, Washington; Lotta, Spokane; Jesse, San Francisco; Alice C., with her parents; and Orris, Spokane. In politics Mr. Dorman is liberal in his views, being affiliated with no party. He and his family are members of the Christian church. In 1862 Mr. Dorman enlisted in Company H, Thirty-third Iowa Infantry, and served three years as a private, first under Colonel Rice, and upon his death in battle, under Colonel Mackey. The first engagement in which our subject was involved was at Helena, Arkansas. Later, he fought in the battles of Shellmound, Mississippi, the seventeen days' fight at Selen River, Arkansas, and at the battle of Jenkin's Ferry. He was repeatedly wounded, and at one time was confined two months in a hospital. Upon returning to his command he fought in Alabama, being engaged in the battles of Fort Spanish and Fort Blakely, as well as many lesser fights and skirmishes. Altogether his military record was one of action and bravery,--one of which he by no means need be ashamed
