Stidom honored for 103rd birthday

Doris Stidom was honored for her 103 years of life with a sign on the street she lives on that will live on forever.

Stidom’s family gathered on Saturday to honor the life of Stidom and dedicate the new street sign at the corner of S. Nolan and Henderson on the street that she has lived on for several years.

The Milam County Museum will feature the biography of Stidom from now on as part of its exhibits.
