| General Notes for Job Smith Haworth | |||||||||||||||||||
| 1 July 1863 record shows Civil War draft registration and he was living in Cass, IA and married. Atlantic Daily Telegraph Atlantic, Iowa - May 14, 1886 DEATH OF JOB HAWORTH Job Haworth died last night at the house of James Moore in this city, at half past six o'clock. He had been confined to his bed for several days and was unconscious for twenty-four hours before his death. Job Hawoth was born in Illinois 21 July 1833. He was the youngest member of the family with the exception of a half brother, who has since died. He received a very fine education and studied medicine for sometime. He came to Cass county in 1854 and engaged in farming. His father, Wm. Haworth had left Job considerable property, and the son by his ability and carefulness, greatly increased it. At one time he possessed six hundred acres of the finest farm land in Cass county, the best stock and owned a number of fast horses which he took great delight in driving on the race course. In 1857 he was most happily married, and three sons and two daughters have resulted from the union. Mr. Haworth had lived in Cass county ever since he came here in 1854 with the exception of a year spent in California. Two brothers and one sister of Mr. Haworth's are still living. The body will be interrred in the Haworth cemetery southwest of Lewis. Job Haworth is dead. All old residents knew him. It is well onto sixteen years since we made his acquaintance, he being one of the richest and most prosperous farmers in Cass county. He had broad acres and employed a large force of men. He was energetic, able and popular. Whatever he undertook he accomplished. His word was good and his note was good. He had a good wife and promising children. In the process and progress of good fellowship he took to drink, and then drink took him. His wealth soon went; then the time came when his family could in reason endure him no longer. The county took charge and supported him. He has been a mere wreck, with but little mind left for the past five years. He has often been seen on our streets and never failed to inspire pity in the hearts of those who knew him before whisky did its work. He was noble and true once, and the clods will never cover a manlier heart than his. There are those who will read these lines with tear dimmed eyes and they are written that way and all will hope and trust there may be perpetual sunshine for the poor soul in the better world. When such is the work of whisky, who can advocate its promiscuous sale under a license system. Obviously he is not a child of Shobal Haworth but as stated here, William Perry Haworth | |||||||||||||||||||
