Death Of Judge Worthington

Death CT Judge WorLhlngt0n'
Another conspicuous man has passed away
Another Of the early settlers Of Montpelier has
been gathered to the fathers The Hon. Gro.
WoRrnNGToN, who for the last half century has
occupied so large space in the public mind IN
this section Of the country, is no longer among
US. He departed this life at the residence Of his
son, George Worthington, u, Of lrasbursh,
with whom for hc last two years be had pm
cipally resided, on Suodly, .lc 18Th inst Of
hemorrhage Of the bowels at The ripe age Of
eighty two years.
Judge WolthingDoo was born in Colchester,
Conn, on the 18th day 4 January 1850. In
1899 be came to Montpelier with his bFotber-in-
law, Erastu Watrous, Esq as an apprentice
~ the hatter's rade--a trade, however, which
he did not long follow, but coon engaged IN az
ricultural pursuits on tho farm now occupied by
COL Thomas Reed, in the over part OF our
village which he owned ana carried on over
twenty years In 1907 he married Clarrisa Da-
Wis, the youngest daughter Of Col Davis, and
the first child born in Montpelier The fruit OF
this union was two song, John ana George
Wortlington, both still living and engaged as
partners il the mercantile business IN irasborgh.
In 1919 Judge Warrington was chosen Rep
resentative Of the town Of Montpelier, when,
for the first time, we believe, he entered upon
what may be termed his public life. And be-
tween that time aud 1910. he was successfully
elected to the responsible offices Of High Sheriff
Of Washington County, member Of thcold State
Council, and Judge Of Probate all which offices
1 be filled with credit to himself and TO the entire
acceptance If the public For the last twenty
or thirty years Of hislife, he has been extensively
employed in the settlement of Estates which he
was known to have SO judcously managed, that
he was constantly called to discharge the trusts
OF Executor, Administrator, or Guardian. And
in this way, as well as by his acknowledged worth
and capabilities, he became more intimately
known to the people Of the County perhaps,
than almost any man among us, and everywhere,
as far as known, gained the just and well-de-
served reputation of being man of great use
funess in community.
Judge Worthington may well be regarded as
one OF the fathers of the town, and no work for
It's improvement can scarcely be named, in which
he has not been willing and active participant,
In the moral and religious improvement of the
place, also, he ever took lively interest. Of
the Congregational Church, which he did much
to build up from its first feeble beginning, and
OF which, for nearly half century, he was the
leading Deacon, he was ever esteemed one of the
main pillars, and was ever active in aiding to
extend its beneiicent influences.
Such has been the life, character and services
Of Judge Worthington, whose place 1t will moi
be easy to fill with man of equal capacities,
combined with the same social traits and concll-
iatory manners, which distinguished him, and
which gave him the extended and healthy inAu-
ence he so undoubtedly exercised in community.
