OBITUARY
News-Gazette, Lexington, VA; 6 Mar 2013
Madison McClung (Mc) Sterrett, Jr., 87, died on Wednesday, February 27, 2013 at the Benjamin Borden Health Center at Kendal of Lexington. Mr. Sterrett was born in Lexington, Virginia on November 10, 1925, the son of the late Madison McClung Sterrett, Sr. and Edna Watkins Morton Sterrett. He moved with his family to Brownsburg when he was two years old, and graduated from Brownsburg High School in 1943.
Mr. Sterrett was a life-long farmer. He and his father owned and operated M. M. Sterrett & Son Dairy, and he was an active member of the Virginia State Dairymen's Association. When Sterrett's Dairy closed in 1986, Mr. Sterrett continued as a beef cattle farmer until his retirement. In 2007, he was presented with the Conservationist of the Year Award by the Natural Bridge Soil and Water Conservation District for his many years of conservation practices such as strip cropping, crop rotations, winter cover crops, crop residue management, tree planting on steeper acreages, and fencing to protect water sources and woodlands.
Mr. Sterrett was a member of New Providence Presbyterian Church in Raphine where he had served as an Elder, Clerk of Session, and Trustee. He sang in the New Providence choir for more than 65 years.
He was also very active in the community. Mr. Sterrett served on the Board of Directors at the Rockbridge Farmers Co-op for 30 years, including nine years as Chairman of the Board. For many years, he was on the Board of Directors at the Bank of Rockbridge, and served as Chairman of the Board for a period of ten years through the bank's merger with One Valley Bank and later BB&T. He was a long-time member of the Brownsburg Ruritan Club, and received his 65-year pin in 2009. Mr. Sterrett served several terms as a Director of the Natural Bridge Soil and Water Conservation District.
Mr. Sterrett was preceded in death by his first wife, Annamarye Lackey Sterrett. He is survived by his second wife, Louise Martin Doyle Sterrett; two daughters, Isabelle Chewning (and her husband Barry) of Raphine, and Agnes Sterrett of Fairfax, VA; one sister, Mary Lipscomb of Harrisonburg, VA; and numerous nieces and nephews.
The funeral was held on Saturday, March 2 at New Providence Presbyterian Church with the Rev. Keith Cornfield officiating. The family suggests memorial contributions be made to the New Providence Presbyterian Church Organ Refurbishment Fund, 1208 New Providence Road, Raphine, VA 24472; or to the Kendal Fellowship Fund, 160 Kendal Drive, Lexington, VA 24450.

OBITUARY
News-Gazette, Lexington, VA; 26 March 1975
Madison McClung Sterrett, 75, prominent Rockbridge farmer and civic leader, died last Wednesday at his home near Brownsburg.
A descendant of Archibald Alexander, one of the early settlers of Rockbridge County, Mr. Sterrett was born in Rockbridge Oct. 1, 1899 and was the son of the late Madison McClung Sterrett and Laura Smith Sterrett.
At the time of his death he was the senior partner of the M.M. Sterrett and Son Dairy Farm, one of the largest dairy operations in the county.
In 1927 Mr. Sterrett purchased the farm near Brownsburg which had been part of the extensive acerage of his great-grandfather, Samuel Willson. Willson had made major additions to the house on the property, which according to family records was built in 1746 and which was known in earlier years as Mulberry Grove.
In the depression years of the 1930s, while the family continued to operate a farm, Mr. Sterrett was associated for a period with the Civilian Conservation Corps in beautification work along the Skyline Drive.
He converted his general farming operation into a dairy farm in 1947.
Mr. Sterrett's community service included a period of eight years, from 1952 to 1960, as trustee from Walkers Creek District on the Rockbridge County School Board.
He was a member of the Lexington advisory board of the First National Exchange Bank and of the predecessor board of the Peoples National Bank of Lexington from 1953 to 1973.
Mr. Sterrett had served as chairman of the board of deacons of New Providence Presbyterian Church, had been a past president of the Brownsburg Ruritan Club, and had been a member for 12 years of the board of Rockbridge Farmers Cooperative.
He was elected in 1946 a director from Walkers Creek on the board of the Rockbridge Mutual Fire Insurance Co. and served on the board until his retirement in March 1974. He had been a director of the Rockbridge Artifical Breeding Association and a member of the Rockbridge-Alleghany Dairy Herd Improvement Association.
He is survived by his wife, Edna Morton Sterrett; a son, Madison McClung Sterrett Jr. of Brownsburg; a daughter, Mrs. Bruce Alexander Lipscomb of Fairfield; two sisters, Mrs. John K. Davidson of Lexington and Mrs. Alden S. Anderson of Staunton; and four grandchildren.
The Rev. David Coblentz conducted a funeral service Friday at 11 a.m. in New Providence Presbyterian Church cemetery.
