war. II the irresistible ones had been
placed in front of the firing line there

popular theory that war has beneficient

One of the universal winners has dis

too much faith in him to charge another
man of similar name with breaking her

promptly resented by causing her pres-

over her. Another man who has the
marrying habit has been inextricably

at least four wives and there are rumb-

A CORNER IN ANCESTORS
By FRANCES cowLEs.
THE WOODWORTH FAMILY

tCopyright. 1915. b. the Mcclure News
paper syndicate)
Behind Scituate the evil of the At
}antic is drawn and our ancestry is lost
in the midst OF bygone ages. Thus
speaks one of the woodworths OF the
apparent mystery pfSthe origin of this
great family in America.
Who we're these w.oodworths. who took
such a prominent part in the EARLY his
tory of one OF the most important New
England settlements, who fought bravely
and freely in the revolutionary war. and
who enriched our history with poets, doc
tors. soldiers and statesmen of note?
The first man known to bear the name
was one Walter. who probably came and
settled in the town of Scituate in 1885.
: Men of Kent these early settlers Of
scituate are described and II Is only rea-
sonable to suppose that Walter was of
Kentish origin himself. Some suppose
that he was a descendant OF the Wood
wards, of whom there were many in Kent
Others see some reason TO believe that
the name grew out of the union of a
man named Wood with maid named
Worth. But these are only suggestions
Whatever the truth OF the matter be,
the American wocdworths of today bear
coat of arms originally belonging to
the Woodwards of Kent.
In scituate Walter Woodwork was us-
signed the first lot on Kent street. which
runs along the ocean front at the cor
ner of Meeting House Lane. Here he
built a house At about the same time
he bought a tract Of land on the First
Herring brook. where later stood the
residence of Samuel Woodworth, the IA
NOUS author of THE Old OalSen Bucket
In 1856 Walter bought 50 acres in Wey-
mouth Mass.
The Woodworths served valiantly in
the revolutionary war. There were 81
Of them from Connecticut and Is from
New York state. They have intermarried
with the Ashton, Avery. Bradley Bur-
dick. Cox, Eaton. Cummings, Goodrich.
Fuller, Southwick and Wilbur families.
The arms of the Woodworths are
blazoned: Argent chevron sable be-
tween three grasshoppers sable. The
crest is demi woodsman ccuped at the
knees, vested gules hair disheveled, or,
in his dexter hand honeysuckle of the
proper stalled and leaved vert
. This little grasshopper is an inter-
esting emblem in heraldry. According
to Solomon, 1t is one Of the four small
things of the earth that are full of
wisdom. 1t has always been special
emblem of nobility, and was looked
upon with great respect even in the
days of the Athenians.
To William Austin, who asks for an
account of the Austin coat Of arms with
the symbolism.
The arms reproduced is that of the
family of Surrey, England. It Is en-
blazoned as follows:
