Generation No. 1

1. JAMES2 WORKMAN (UNKNOWN1) was born Abt. 1789 in IRELAND, and died Bef. 1850 in OHIO. He married MARGARET UNKNOWN. She was born Abt. 1796 in IRELAND, and died 1858 in STEUBENVILLE, JEFFERSON COUNTY, OHIO.

Notes for JAMES WORKMAN:

FOUND IN THE RECORDS OF THE SEA PORT OF PASSAMAQUODDY, MAINE, IN THE RECORD BOOK OF ARRIVING IMMIGRANTS FROM OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES IS THE FOLLOWING NAMES LISTED FOR THE DATE OF ARRIVAL AS JUNE 23, 1829:
THE TITLE PAGE FOR THE RECORD BOOK IS: " LIST OF PASSENGERS ENTERED IN THE DISTRICT OF PASSAMAQUODDY IN THE STATE OF MAINE FROM FOREIGN PORTS DURING THE YEAR 1829. "
NAME AGE SEX OCCUPATION FROM MY DATE OF BIRTH
............ WORKMAN, 40, MALE FARMER, IRELAND [ 1789 ]
MARG WORKMAN 30 FEMALE SPINSTER IRELAND [ 1799 ]
WM WORKMAN 19 MALE FARMER IRELAND [ 1810 ]
G. WORKMAN 16 MALE FARMER IRELAND [ 1813 ]
JULIA WORKMAN 14 FEMALE SPINSTER IRELAND [ 1815 ]
NANCY WORKMAN 12 FEMALE SPINSTER IRELAND [ 1817 ]
JOHN WORKMAN 8 MALE CHILD IRELAND [ 1821 ]
THO WORKMAN 3 MALE CHILD IRELAND [ 1826 ]
THIS APPEARS TO BE THE FAMILY THAT EVENTUALLY SETTLED IN THE STEUBENVILLE, JEFFERSON COUNTY, OHIO AREA. UNFORTUNATELY THE LOG BOOK FOR THIS PORT DOES NOT LIST THE NAME OF THE ARRIVING SHIPS. FROM THE LOG BOOK THERE APPEARS TO BE ARRIVING OVER 250 TO 300 PEOPLE ON THE DATES 22-23 JUNE 1829. THIS COULD CAUSE SOME CONFUSION WITH THE FAMILIES BEING SEPARATED, AND THE INFORMATION RECORDED BEING DISTORTED OR MISTAKEN. I HAVE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT NONE OF THESE WORKMAN'S ACTUALLY KNEW THEIR YEAR OF BIRTH AND DID NOT KNOW THEIR AGES WITH IN A FEW YEARS. I HAVE FOUND MANY DIFFERENT AGES GIVEN ON A NUMBER OF CENSUS'S AND PROBABLY WRONG AGES ON THIS RECORDED LOG. I CANNOT READ THE FIRST NAME OF ..........WORKMAN, AGE 40. IT HAS BEEN COMPLETELY OBLITERATED WITH AGE. HIS AGE IS PROBABLY ABOUT CORRECT AS HIS OLDEST CHILD, WILLIAM WORKMAN, BORN ABOUT 1810, WOULD HAVE MADE .......... WORKMAN A FATHER AT AGE ABOUT 21. THIS AGE IS SIMILAR TO THE JAMES WORKMAN FOUND IN THE 1830, AND 1840 CENSUS IN JEFFERSON COUNTY, OHIO. I BELIEVE THE MARG WORKMAN IS THE WIFE, AND NOT AGE 30 BUT ABOUT AGE 43, AND NOT A SPINSTER. SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN ABOUT AGE 23 OR 24 FOR HER FIRST CHILD, WILLIAM, BORN ABOUT 1810. THE OTHER WORKMAN'S FALL FAIRLY CLOSE TO THE AGES RECORDED IN THE 1850,1860 AND 1870 FEDERAL CENSUS IN JEFFERSON COUNTY, OHIO JULIA WORKMAN IS NOT LISTED ON ANY CENSUS IN JEFFERSON COUNTY, AND I WONDER IF HER NAME WAS MARY WORKMAN. MARY WORKMAN LATER MARRIED WILLIAM COOPER AND IN THE 1850 CENSUS SHE GIVES HER AGE AS 36. SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN CLOSER TO AGE 15 IN 1829, IF THE 1850 CENSUS IS CLOSE, WHICH IS ABOUT CORRECT. NANCY WAS PROBABLY BORN CLOSER TO 1818 AND HER AGE ABOUT 11. BUT THE BIGGEST PROBLEM FROM MY STANDPOINT OF COURSE IS JAMES WORKMAN DOES NOT APPEAR IN THE RECORDS. WE HAVE RECORDED HIS AGE FROM HIS MARKER IN THE CEMETERY IN ST. JOHN THAT PLACES HIS BIRTH DATE AS 1822. WE HAVE FOUND OVER THE SPACE OF HIS LIFETIME, A VARIATION OF HIS AGE, BASED ON CENSUS RECORDS. IN 1860 CENSUS HE GIVES HIS AGE AS 36 [ 1824 ], IN 1870 CENSUS, AGE 49 [ 1821 ] AND IN THE OBITUARY THAT APPEARED IN THE STEUBENVILLE NEWSPAPER THAT STATED HIS DEATH IN KANSAS, HIS AGE IS GIVEN AS 65, [ 1813 ]. AT THE TIME OF HIS ENLISTMENT IN THE ARMY FOR THE MEXICAN WAR IN 1846 HE GIVES HIS AGE AS 23 [1823]. AT THIS POINT I DO NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO BELIEVE AS I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO LOCATE A DOCUMENT THAT LINKS JAMES WORKMAN SPECIFICALLY AND ACTUALLY TO THIS FAMILY.
I HAVE USED FOUR CRITERIA TO BUILD THE WORKMAN FAMILY I HAVE CONSTRUCTED FROM RECORDS AND CENSUS'S. THE FOUR ARE [ 1 ] SAME SURNAME, WORKMAN; [ 2 ] ALL LOCATED IN THE JEFFERSON COUNTY, OHIO AREA; [ 3 ] ALL BORN IN IRELAND; [ 4 ] AND ALL HAVE SIMILAR DATES OF BIRTHS THAT TIE THEM INTO ONE LARGE FAMILY. I HAVE USED A FIFTH CRITERIA TO SEPARATE THE TWO FAMILIES, JAMES AND JOHN WORKMAN, BROTHERS, BY THEIR LIVING MOST OF THEIR UNITED STATES LIVES IN THE SAME GENERAL AREA OF JEFFERSON COUNTY; ISLAND CREEK TOWNSHIP AND THE CITY OF STEUBENVILLE. JOHN LIVED IN THE ISLAND CREEK AREA AND JAMES LIVED IN THE CITY OF STEUBENVILLE. THE OTHER WORKMAN'S I HAVE FOUND IN THE GENERAL AREA, BELMONT COUNTY, OHIO [ SOUTHERN ADJACENT COUNTY TO JEFFERSON COUNTY ] AND THE WHEELING AREA HAVE WORKMAN SURNAME, BUT THEY WERE BORN EITHER IN ENGLAND OR GERMANY.

IT WOULD BE LOGICAL TO ASSUME, JAMES AND FAMILY TRAVELED FROM PASSAMAQUODDY MAINE TO JEFFERSON COUNTY, OHIO, FAIRLY QUICKLY AS JAMES WORKMAN APPEARS IN THE 1830 FEDERAL CENSUS IN JEFFERSON COUNTY. IF THEY ARRIVED JUNE 22, 1829 AND THE CENSUS IS RECORDED ONE YEAR LATER, THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A RAPID TRIP FOR THAT PERIOD OF TIME. THE BIG QUESTION, OF COURSE, IS WHY DID THEY GO TO STEUBENVILLE, OHIO, A VERY REMOTE AREA OF THE UNITED STATES IN 1829, ACTUALLY THE VERY FRONTIER OF THE COUNTRY. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE THEY TRAVELED TO THIS DESTINATION BY HAPPENSTANCE, BUT THEY KNEW BEFORE FROM LETTERS AND STORY THAT THEY WISHED TO SETTLE IN THIS AREA. I BELIEVE THERE WAS ALREADY A FAIRLY LARGE IRISH COMMUNITY IN STEUBENVILLE, AND MANY OF THE SETTLERS MUST HAVE ARRIVED IN OHIO, FROM THE SAME AREA OF IRELAND THE WORKMAN'S LEFT.

LISTED IN THE FEDERAL CENSUS, 1830, CITY OF STEUBENVILLE, JEFFERSON COUNTY, OHIO:
JAMES WORKMAN MALES 1 UNDER 5 GROUP
2 5 TO 10 GROUP
1 20 TO 30 GROUP
1 50 TO 60 GROUP
FEMALES 1 40 TO 50 GROUP
I HAVE CONSTRUCTED THE FAMILY LIVING AT HOME FROM THIS CENSUS, USING SEX AND AGES AS FOLLOW: MALE 1 UNDER 5 WOULD BE THOMAS WORKMAN, AGE 4 [ AGE 3 IN 1829 ]; 2 IN GROUP 5 TO 10 WOULD BE JOHN WORKMAN, AGE 8 [ AGE 8 IN 1829 ] * POSSIBILITY THAT JAMES WORKMAN IS THE OTHER CHILD BETWEEN AGES GROUP 5 TO 10. IF JAMES BIRTH DATE IS CORRECT FROM THE MARKER IN ST. JOHN KANSAS, HIS BIRTH YEAR WOULD BE 1822. HE WOULD HAVE BEEN AGE 8 AT THE TIME OF THIS CENSUS, AND WOULD BE THE OTHER MALE. 1 PERSON IN GROUP 20 TO 30 WOULD BE WILLIAM WORKMAN, AGE 20 [ AGE 19 IN 1829 ]. 1 PERSON IN GROUP 50 TO 60, COULD BE THE FATHER JAMES WORKMAN, BUT HIS GIVEN AGE IN 1829 WAS AGE 40. HE GAINED 10 YEARS IN ONE YEAR. THE FEMALE WOULD BE MARGARET WORKMAN, PROBABLY AGE 44.

LISTED IN THE FEDERAL CENSUS, 1840, CITY OF STEUBENVILLE, JEFFERSON COUNTY, OHIO:
JAMES WORKMAN; MALE 1 50 TO 60 GROUP
FEMALE 1 50 TO 60 GROUP
THIS FAIRLY EASY TO INTERPRET, JAMES IS THE MALE AGE 50 TO 60 AND MARGARET IS THE FEMALE AGE 50 TO 60. JAMES WOULD HAVE BEEN ABOUT AGE 51 BASED ON THE 1829 PASSAMAQUODDY AGE GIVEN, AND MARGARET WOULD BE AGE 54, BASED ON THE 1850 AGE GIVEN. THE CHILDREN ARE GONE AND MOST OF THEM ARE MARRIED. LIVING NEXT DOOR IS S. BICKERSTAFF. ONE OF THE WORKMAN'S GRANDDAUGHTERS, CAROLINE WORKMAN, DAUGHTER OF GORDON WORKMAN, MARRIED REASOR BICKERSTAFF. THIS IS PROBABLY SAMUEL BICKERSTAFF, LATER FOUND IN THE 1850, 1860 CENSUS, BUT NOT THE FATHER OF REASOR BICKESTAFF, BUT PROBABLY THE GRANDFATHER.

LISTED IN THE 1850 CITY OF STUBENVILLE DIRECTORY, MARGARET WORKMAN, WIDOW, LIVING AT
" NORTH ABOVE FIFTH ". THIS SHOWS THAT JAMES HAS DIED BEFORE 1850 AND AFTER 1840.

LISTED IN THE 1850 FEDERAL CENSUS, PAGE 92, DWELLING # 679, FAMILY # 714, JEFFERSON COUNTY, OHIO AS FOLLOWS:

I AM NOT SURE WHO MARGARETTE WORKMAN, AGE 15, BORN IN OHIO, IS IN THIS CENSUS. ALSO LISTED IN THE 1850 CENSUS LIVING NEARBY IS HER SON GORDON WORKMAN. GORDON HAS A DAUGHTER NAMED MARGARETTE, AGE 15, LISTED IN THE 1850 CENSUS, ALSO. ALSO LIVING NEXT DOOR TO MARGARET IS HER DAUGHTER, MARY WORKMAN MARRIED TO WILLIAM COOPER.

Notes for GORDON WORKMAN:

MARRIAGES LISTED UNDER EARLY MARRIAGES OF JEFFERSON COUNTY, OHIO IS LISTED; GORDON WORKMAN MARRIED MARTHA LEE, DECEMBER 25, 1834

LISTED IN THE 1850 FEDERAL CENSUS, PAGE 85, DWELLING # 422, FAMILY # 452, FOR JEFFERSON COUNTY, OHIO AS FOLLOWS:
WORKMAN, GORDON, AGE 38, MALE, OCCUPATION TEAMSTER, BORN IRELAND
MARTHA AGE 36, FEMALE, BORN OHIO
MARGARETTA AGE 14, FEMALE, BORN OHIO
MARY J. AGE 12, FEMALE, BORN OHIO
THOMAS A. AGE 11, MALE, BORN OHIO
CAROLINE AGE 6, FEMALE, BORN OHIO
MARTHA A. AGE 3, FEMALE, BORN OHIO
GORDON AGE 10, MALE, BORN OHIO
LIVING IN JEFFERSON COUNTY, GORDON IS BORN IN IRELAND. HE APPEARS TO BE JAMES WORKMAN'S BROTHER. MARY J. IS FOUND IN THE JAMES WORKMAN HOUSEHOLD IN THE 1860, OHIO COUNTY, VIRGINIA [ WEST VIRGINIA IN 1863 ], CENSUS, AGE 20, BORN OHIO, AND IS PROBABLY A NIECE TO JAMES. I DO NOT KNOW WHY GORDON , AGE 10, IS LISTED OUT OF ORDER FROM THE OTHER CHILDREN. I HOPE IT WAS A MISTAKE AND HE IS NOT A NEPHEW OR SOME OTHER RELATIVE TO GORDON SR.

LISTED IN THE BUSINESS DIRECTORY, DATED 1850, OF STEUBENVILLE, OHIO: " WORKMAN, GORDON, PLASTERER, WASHINGTON ABOVE FIFTH ".

LISTED IN THE 1860 FEDERAL CENSUS, 1ST WARD, STEUBENVILLE, JEFFERSON COUNTY, OHIO:
#385 #387
WORKMAN, GORDON, AGE 57, MALE, TEAMSTER, 250, OHIO
MARTHA, AGE 46, FEMALE, BORN OHIO
THOMAS, AGE 20, MALE, BRICK LAYER, BORN OHIO
MARY J., AGE 17, FEMALE, NONE, BORN OHIO
GORDON, AGE 16, MALE, TEAMSTER, BORN OHIO
MARY J., AGE 19, FEMALE, NONE, BORN OHIO
CAROLINE, AGE 15, FEMALE, BORN OHIO
MARTHA H., AGE 13, FEMALE, BORN OHIO
JAMES, AGE 12, MALE, BORN OHIO, AT SCHOOL
OELLA, AGE 7, FEMALE, BORN OHIO, AT SCHOOL
THIS IS A VERY CONFUSING CENSUS. GORDON'S AGE SHOULD BE,48, ACCORDING TO THE 1850 CENSUS, WHERE HE IS AGE 38. GORDON'S BIRTHPLACE IS GIVEN AS OHIO, BUT ACCORDING TO THE 1850 CENSUS HE WAS BORN IN IRELAND. HIS OCCUPATION IS STILL A TEAMSTER. GORDON PLACES THE VALUE OF HIS PERSONAL PROPERTY AS $250.00. MARTHA, HIS WIFE APPEARS TO CORRESPOND WITH THE 1850 CENSUS, SHE IS 10 YEARS OLDER, AND BORN IN OHIO. SHE HAS A MARK IN THE COLUMN THAT STATES SHE CANNOT READ OR WRITE. THOMAS WAS 11 IN THE 1850 CENSUS AND IS NOW AGE 20, WHICH IS REASONABLE AND BORN IN OHIO. HIS OCCUPATION IS NOW A BRICK LAYER, WHICH HELPS THE FAMILY INCOME. THE NEXT CHILD, IF SHE IS ONE OF GORDON'S CHILDREN IS CONFUSING, AS THERE ARE TWO MARY J. LISTED IN THIS CENSUS. IN THE 1850 CENSUS THERE IS ONE MARY J. LISTED, AGE 12. I BELIEVE THIS MARY J. IN THE 1860 CENSUS IS NOW LIVING IN THE JAMES WORKMAN HOUSEHOLD IN WHEELING, VIRGINIA [ WEST VIRGINIA ]. I AM NOT SURE WHO THE TWO MARY J. WORKMAN'S IN THIS CENSUS ARE. ONE POSSIBILITY COULD BE THE CHILD OF JOHN WORKMAN AND REBECCA [ VANDIKE ] WORKMAN. FOUND IN THE 1850 CENSUS, JOHN IS AGE 30, BORN IRELAND AND REBECCA AGE 30, BORN PENNSYLVANIA, AND ONE CHILD, AGE 4, MARY WORKMAN, BORN OHIO. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND THIS JOHN WORKMAN FAMILY IN THE 1860, 1870 OR 1880 CENSUS. IT COULD BE THAT JOHN AND HIS WIFE , REBECCA PASSED AWAY AND GORDON AND HIS FAMILY TOOK IN THE CHILD MARY, NOW ABOUT AGE 14. THE OTHER MARY J., AGE 19 IN THIS CENSUS WOULD APPROXIMATE THE AGE OF 12 IN THE 1850 CENSUS OF MARY JANE WORKMAN, THE CHILD OF GORDON AND MARTHA. IN THE 1850 CENSUS THE OLDEST CHILD IS MARGARETTA, AGE 14. SHE MARRIED ALEXANDER WALKER IN 1852 AND APPEARS IN THE 1860 CENSUS IN HIS HOUSEHOLD, AGE 26, WITH THREE CHILDREN. AS TO THE OTHER CHILDREN, GORDON, JR. IS AGE 10 IN THE 1850 CENSUS AND NOW AGE 16, AND HAS FOLLOWED IN HIS FATHER'S OCCUPATION AS A TEAMSTER. GORDON JR. WAS OUT OF AGE LINE IN THE 1850 CENSUS AND PROBABLY WAS YOUNGER IN THAT CENSUS, AND A MISTAKE WAS MADE IN GIVING HIS AGE. HE WAS PROBABLY AGE 7 AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN LISTED BETWEEN THOMAS AND CAROLINE. CAROLINE WAS AGE 6 IN THE 1850 CENSUS AND IS NOW AGE 15, AND MARTHA H. WAS AGE 3 IN THE 1850 CENSUS AND IS NOW AGE 13, BOTH CORRECT. IT WOULD APPEAR TWO CHILDREN HAVE BEEN BORN SINCE THE 1850 CENSUS, JAMES, AGE 12, AND OELLA, AGE 7. TWO CHILDREN ARE ATTENDING SCHOOL, JAMES AND OELLA. ONE CLOSING FACTOR THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED, IS MARTHA THE WIFE, AS STATED IN THE ABOVE CENSUS, CANNOT READ OR WRITE, AND SHE COULD BE THE SOURCE OF THE INFORMATION GIVEN TO THE CENSUS TAKER, AND SHE COULD BE THE SOURCE OF THE DISCREPANCY FOUND BETWEEN THE 1850 CENSUS AND THE 1860 CENSUS. I CANNOT EXPLAIN WHY GORDON'S BIRTHPLACE WOULD BE CHANGED FROM IRELAND TO OHIO. I BELIEVE OELLA IN THIS CENSUS IS PHONETICAL SPELLING OF ELLA.

FOUND IN THE 1870 CENSUS, JEFFERSON COUNTY, OHIO AS FOLLOWS:
247/247 WORKMAN, GORDON, AGE 62, OCCUPATION PLASTERER, BORN IRELAND. f/m
MARTHA, AGE 51, OCCUPATION KEEPING HOUSE, BORN IRELAND. f/m
BICKERSTAFF, THOMAS, AGE 9, BORN OHIO
IN THIS CENSUS ALL THE CHILDREN ARE GONE AND THEY HAVE A YOUNG CHILD, AGE 9 LIVING WITH THEM. THOMAS BICKERSTAFF, IS A GRANDCHILD, AS THEIR DAUGHTER, CAROLINE, MARRIED REASOR BICKERSTAFF IN 1860. I CANNOT FIND THIS BICKERSTAFF FAMILY IN THE 1870 CENSUS, AND WONDER SINCE THEY HAVE THE GRANDCHILD BOTH CAROLINE AND REASOR ARE DEAD. GORDON IS BORN IN IRELAND WHICH IS CORRECT BUT MARTHA IS LISTED AS BORN IRELAND, AND IN ALL PREVIOUS CENSUS, SHE IS BORN OHIO. IF GORDON'S BIRTH IS ABOUT 1811, AGE 62 WOULD BE ABOUT CORRECT FOR THE 1870 CENSUS. AS TO MARTHA'S AGE, SHE IS AGE 36 IN THE 1850 CENSUS [ BORN 1814 ], AGE 46 IN THE 1860 CENSUS [ BORN 1814 ] AND 51 IN THE 1870 CENSUS [ BORN 1819 ]. PROBABLY SHE WAS BORN ABOUT 1814. THE SMALL f/m AFTER GORDON'S AND MARTHA'S NAME DENOTES THEIR FATHER AND MOTHER WERE FOREIGN BORN, GORDON'S PROBABLY BORN IN IRELAND AND NOT SURE WHERE MARTHA'S PARENTS WERE BORN, BUT LIKELY ALSO IN IRELAND. MARTHA'S MAIDEN NAME WAS LEE.

GORDON HAS NOT WORKED IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS ACCORDING TO THE CENSUS. HE IS PROBABLY RETIRED AT THE AGE OF 72. HE HAS WORKED AT TWO TRADES IN HIS LIFE, PLASTERER AND TEAMSTER. HIS DAUGHTER LIVES WITH HIM AND IS LISTED AS AGE 26. I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS AGE BUT BELIEVE SHE IS CLOSER TO AGE 33 AS NOTED IN THE 1860 CENSUS WHERE SHE IS LISTED AS AGE 13. SHE IS SINGLE IN THIS CENSUS.

WALKER, MRS. ARTHURS, JAMES, GORDON, AND MATTIE WORKMAN OF THIS CITY, " ALL THE CHILDREN HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED, EXCEPT MARTHA A. WORKMAN, WHICH LEAVES MRS. DUNLAP. I CANNOT FIND FERNWOOD ON TODAYS MAP, SO NOT SURE WHERE IT IS, BUT SINCE IT DID NOT MENTION A STATE, THE PAPER MUST HAVE BELIEVED ALL THE READERS KNEW WHERE IT WAS. THE PAPER DID NOT MENTION WHEELING BY STATE, BUT ALL READERS WOULD HAVE KNOWN WHEELING WEST VIRGINIA.

22 viii. ELLA T. WORKMAN, born Abt. 1853 in OHIO. She married WILLIAM ARTHURS July 03, 1873 in STEUBENVILLE, JEFFERSON COUNTY, OHIO.

Notes for ELLA T. WORKMAN:

ELLA WORKMAN WAS LIVING AT LANDEN AVENUE, STEUBENVILLE, OHIO ON MAY 1890. THIS FACT FOUND IN A NEWSPAPER ARTICLE LISTING HER FATHER'S DEATH, GORDON WORKMAN. QUOTE FROM THE PAPER, DATED MAY 9, 1890: " GORDON WORKMAN DIED AT THE RESIDENCE OF HIS DAUGHTER, MRS. WILLIAM ARTHURS ON LINDEN AVE., SUNDAY NIGHT, AGE 82 YEARS. "

4. MARY3 WORKMAN (JAMES2, UNKNOWN1) was born Abt. 1816 in IRELAND. She married WILLIAM L. COOPER January 14, 1836 in JEFFERSON COUNTY, OHIO. He was born Abt. 1814 in NEW JERSEY, and died Bet. 1870 - 1880 in JEFFERSON COUNTY, OHIO.

Notes for WILLIAM L. COOPER:

FROM THE RECORDS OF EARLY MARRIAGES IN JEFFERSON COUNTY, OHIO, AS FOLLOWS:
MARY WORKMAN MARRIED WILLIAM L. COOPER, JANUARY 14, 1836

LISTED IN THE 1840 FEDERAL CENSUS, TOWN OF STEUBENVILLE, JEFFERSON COUNTY, OHIO:
WM. L. COOPER MALE 1; UNDER 5 YEARS, MALE 1; 15 - 20 YEARS, MALE 1; 20 - 30 YEARS : FEMALE 1; UNDER 5 YEARS, FEMALE 1; 5 - 10 YEARS, FEMALE 1; 20 - 30 YEARS.
THE 1840 CENSUS IS NOT VERY HELPFUL AS TO WHO IS IN THE FAMILY. IT LIST ONLY THE MALE HEAD OF FAMILY AND THE NUMBERS OF MALES AND FEMALES AND THEIR AGES. THE COOPERS WERE MARRIED IN 1836 ACCORDING TO THE RECORDS OF THE COUNTY, AND IF ONE STUDIES THE 1850 AND 1860 CENSUS, ONE CAN COME TO SOME CONCLUSIONS ABOUT THE DIFFERENT INDIVIDUALS LISTED IN THE 1840 CENSUS. WILLIAM COOPER IS AGE 36 IN THE 1850 CENSUS SO IT WOULD BE ASSUMED HE IS AGE ABOUT 26 IN THE 1840 CENSUS, SO HE WOULD BE THE MALE IN THE 20 - 30 AGE GROUP. THE SAME FOR MARY WORKMAN COOPER, SHE IS AGE 36 IN THE 1850 CENSUS, SO SHE WOULD BE AGE 26 IN THE 1840 CENSUS AND FOUND IN THE FEMALE AGE 20 - 30 AGE GROUP. IN THE 1850 CENSUS THE FAMILY HAD ONE DAUGHTER, HANNAH, AGE 13, SO IN THE 1840 CENSUS SHE WOULD BE THE FEMALE IN THE O - 5 AGE GROUP. THE MALE IN THE 0 - 5 AGE GROUP IN THE 1840 CENSUS CAN NOT BE FOUND IN THE 1850 CENSUS, SO IT MUST BE PRESUMED HE HAS DIED BEFORE THE 1850 CENSUS. THERE ARE TWO LISTED IN THE 1840 CENSUS THAT CAN NOT BE ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE 1850 CENSUS OR IN THE ACCOUNTING FOR THE MARRIAGE DATE OF 1836 OR THE AGES OF MARY AND WILLIAM. THIS IS THE MALE AGED 15 - 20 AND THE FEMALE AGE 5 - 10 YEARS. I CAN ONLY CONCLUDE THEY ARE BROTHER AND SISTER TO WILLIAM OR NEPHEW OR NIECES TO WILLIAM, OR MARY.

FOUND IN THE STEUBENVILLE CITY DIRECTORY, DATED 1850 IS WILLIAM L. COOPER, OCCUPATION PLASTERER, LOCATED AT THE CORNER OF 5TH AND NORTH.

LISTED IN THE 1850 FEDERAL CENSUS, CITY OF STEUBENVILLE, JEFFERSON COUNTY, OHIO:
680 715 ----------- COOPER, AGE 36, MALE, PLASTERER, 1200, BORN NEW JERSEY
MARY, AGE 36, FEMALE, BORN IRELAND
HANNAH AGE 13, FEMALE, BORN OHIO
IRWIN, W. AGE 11, MALE, BORN OHIO
CAROLINE J., AGE 9, FEMALE, BORN OHIO
CHARLES, AGE 7, MALE, BORN OHIO
MARY, AGE 4, FEMALE, BORN OHIO
JUSTIN, AGE 2, MALE, BORN OHIO
HERE IS THE FIRST INDICATION THAT THIS MARY WORKMAN COOPER WAS BORN IN IRELAND AND IS PROBABLY PART OF THE ORIGINAL WORKMAN FAMILY THAT ARRIVED FROM IRELAND. ANOTHER INTERESTING INDICATION ALSO IS THAT THIS FAMILY IS LIVING NEXT DOOR TO MARGARET WORKMAN, AGE 64, AND PROBABLY THE MOTHER TO THE FAMILY. THIS FAMILY APPEARS TO HAVE REMAINED IN THE CITY OF STEUBENVILLE FOR THE NEXT CENSUS IN 1860, AND WILLIAM CONTINUES IN HIS OCCUPATION AS A PLASTERER. THEY APPEAR TO HAVE REAL ESTATE VALUED AT $1200.00. HANNAH APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN BORN ABOUT 1837, ONE YEAR AFTER THEIR MARRIAGE. THE FIRST NAME LISTED IN THIS CENSUS FOR WILLIAM COOPER IS VERY DIFFICULT TO READ, AND IT WOULD APPEAR HE IS GIVING HIS MIDDLE NAME AS HIS FIRST NAME.

LISTED IN THE 1860 FEDERAL CENSUS, 3RD WARD STEUBENVILLE, JEFFERSON COUNTY, OHIO:
596 588 COOPER, WM., L., AGE 47, MALE, WHITE, OCCUPATION PLASTERER, VALUE REAL ESTATE $800, VALUE PERSONAL PROPERTY $60, BORN NEW JERSEY
MARY AGE 47, FEMALE, BORN IRELAND
HANNAH B. AGE 22, FEMALE, BORN OHIO
JAS W. AGE 21, MALE, OCCUPATION PLASTERER, BORN OHIO
MARY, AGE 14, FEMALE, BORN OHIO, IN SCHOOL
JUSTIN M., AGE 12, MALE, BORN OHIO, IN SCHOOL
THIS CENSUS IS DIFFICULT TO READ AND HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE TWO CHILDREN, HANNAH AND JUSTIN ESPECIALLY ARE DIFFICULT TO READ. FROM THE 1850 CENSUS, WHICH IS MUCH EASIER TO READ, I HAVE THEIR PROPER NAMES. WHAT APPEARS TO BE JAS W., IS NOT CORRECT FROM THE 1850 CENSUS, BUT UNFORTUNATELY, THIS NAME IS ALSO DIFFICULT TO READ IN THE 1850 CENSUS. I HAVE DECIDED IT IS JAMES. TWO CHILDREN ARE MISSING FROM THIS CENSUS THAT WERE PRESENT IN THE 1850 CENSUS, CAROLINE AND CHARLES.

MARY WORKMAN IS A WIDOW, HER FATHER WAS BORN IN IRELAND, HER MOTHER WAS BORN IN IRELAND. SHE IS LIVING ONLY TWO PLACES ON THE CENSUS FROM HER OLDER BROTHER, WILLIAM WORKMAN. JACOB WALKER IS LIVING NEXT DOOR AND SHE COULD BE RELATED TO THIS WALKER.

Children of MARY WORKMAN and WILLIAM COOPER are:
23 i. HANNAH B.4 COOPER, born Abt. 1838 in STEUBENVILLE, JEFFERSON COUNTY, OHIO.

5. NANCY3 WORKMAN (JAMES2, UNKNOWN1) was born Abt. 1817 in IRELAND. She married JAMES McMURRAY March 30, 1835 in JEFFERSON COUNTY, OHIO. He was born Bet. 1800 - 1810.

Notes for NANCY WORKMAN:

LISTED IN THE 1850 CENSUS, STEUBENVILLE CITY, JEFFERSON COUNTY, OHIO:
406 422 WORKMAN, THOMAS, AGE 20, MALE, COACH MAKER, BORN IRELAND
MELISSA, AGE 25, FEMALE, BORN NEW YORK
ADDA V., AGE 1, FEMALE, BORN OHIO
WORKMAN, NANCY, AGE 25, FEMALE, BORN IRELAND
NANCY WORKMAN IS LIVING IN THE HOUSEHOLD OF HER YOUNGER BROTHER, THOMAS. IT WOULD APPEAR SHE IS NOT MARRIED AT THIS TIME.
I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS THE CORRECT AGE FOR NANCY WORKMAN. SHE IS FOUND IN THE IMMIGRATION RECORDS OF PASSAMAQUODDY, MAINE, DATED JUNE 22, 1829, AND SHE GIVES HER AGE AS 12 AT THAT TIME. THIS WOULD PLACE HER BIRTH YEAR AS 1817. SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN AGE 33 AT THE TIME OF THIS CENSUS. THOMAS AGE IS ALSO INCORRECT IN THIS CENSUS, AS HE GIVES HIS AGE AS 3 IN THE IMMIGRATION RECORDS OF PASSAMAQUODDY, MAINE DATED JUNE 22, 1829. THIS WOULD PLACE HIS BIRTH YEAR AS 1826. HIS CORRECT AGE WOULD HAVE BEEN ABOUT 24 AT THIS CENSUS.

I HAVE FOUND IN THE MARRIAGE RECORDS OF JEFFERSON COUNTY, OHIO THE MARRIAGE OF NANCY WORKMAN TO JAMES McMURRAY DATED MARCH 30, 1835. IF THE ABOVE DATE IN THE FEDERAL CENSUS IS CORRECT, THIS MARRIAGE COULD NOT BE AS NANCY WOULD HAVE BEEN AGE 10 YEARS OF AGE IN 1835. BUT IF THE CORRECT AGE WAS 12 IN 1829 ON THE IMMIGRATION RECORDS, THEN NANCY WOULD HAVE BEEN AGE 18 IN 1835 AND THIS MARRIAGE WOULD BE POSSIBLE. I AM GOING TO FOLLOW THE IMMIGRATION RECORDS AS THE CORRECT AGE AND NOT THIS CENSUS. AND SINCE SHE IS LIVING IN THE HOUSE WITH HER BROTHER IN 1850, SHE IS EITHER SEPARATED OR A WIDOW. IT ALSO HAS BEEN FOUND IN THE 1840 FEDERAL CENSUS, TOWN OF STEUBENVILLE, JEFFERSON COUNTY, OHIO, JAMES McMURRAY WITH 2 MALE CHILDREN UNDER 5 YEARS OF AGE, JAMES LISTED AS AGES 30 TO 40, AND ONE FEMALE, AGES 20 TO 30 [ NANCY WORKMAN, AGE 23 ]. IF THE ABOVE 1850 CENSUS IS THIS NANCY WORKMAN, SHE HAS LOST HER HUSBAND AND BOTH CHILDREN.

She was born August 07, 1831 in STEUBENVILLE, JEFFERSON COUNTY, OHIO, and died April 18, 1907 in KANSAS CITY, JACKSON COUNTY, MISSOURI.

Notes for JAMES WORKMAN:
COPY FROM CLAIM FOR PENSION FOR CIVIL WAR VETERANS WIDOWS:
"SHE IS THE WIDOW OF JAMES WORKMAN WHO ENLISTED AS A PRIVATE IN CAPTAIN DONNELLS INDEPENDENT CO. OHIO VOL. INFT. ON THE 2DAY OF JUNE 1846 BY H. O. DONNELL AND WAS MUSTERED IN TO THE U. S. SERVICE ON THE 15 DAY ON JUNE 1846 AT CINCINNATI, OHIO BY A. M. MITCHEL, U. S. A. MUSTERING OFFICER, AND THAT HE WAS MUSTERED OUT WITH THE CO. OCTOBER 17, 1846, AT CINCINNATI, OHIO BY N. C. MACRES, CAPT. 3RD, U. S. INFT."
THAT SHE MAKES THIS DECLARATION IN ORDER TO OBTAIN THE PENSION PROVIDED BY THE ACT OF CONGRESS, GRANTING PENSIONS TO WIDOWS DURING THE MEXICAN WAR AND THE WAR OF THE REBELLION. THAT SHE MARRIED UNDER THE NAME OF MARY SHAW, TO SAID JAMES WORKMAN, ON THE 24 DAY OF AUGUST 1851 BY REV. WILLIAM P. BREED IN JEFFERSON CO. OHIO THERE BEING NO LEGAL BARRIER TO SUCH MARRIAGE, THAT NEITHER SHE AND HER HUSBAND HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY MARRIED WHEN THEY WERE MARRIED AS ABOVE STATED.
THAT DURING THE WAR OF THE REBELLION, HER HUSBAND, JAMES WORKMAN ENLISTED IN CO. E. 1ST, W. VA. INFT. THAT HER HUSBAND THE ABOVE NAMED SOLDIER, DIED MARCH 14, 1876, AT ST. JOHN, KANSAS. AND THAT AFTER THE DEATH OF THE SOLDIER ABOVE NAMED SHE REMAINED SINGLE AND UN-MARRIED, UNTIL THE 14 DAY OF AUGUST 1895, WHEN SHE MARRIED TO WILLIAM P. D. FLEMING, AT HUTCHINSON, KANSAS, BY REV. J. G. WILKINSON, AND THAT THEY LIVED TOGETHER AS HUSBAND AND WIFE UNTIL DECEMBER, 1901, WHEN SHE DIVORCED FROM HIM AT HUTCHINSON, RENO COUNTY, KANSAS. SUBMITTED 3 MAY 1902 AT HUTCHINSON KANSAS, ATTORNEY E. M. CAFFEY.

MARY [ SHAW ] WORKMAN WAS REJECTED FOR HER WIDOW'S PENSION FOR THE MEXICAN WAR FOR THE FOLLOWING REASON AS STATED ON THE REPLY FROM THE RECORD AND PENSION OFFICE, WAR DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON , DATED MARCH 5, 1903:
" IT APPEARS FROM THE RECORDS OF THIS OFFICE THAT THE WAR DEPARTMENT MADE A REQUISITION ON THE STATE OF OHIO MAY 16, 1846, FOR THREE REGIMENTS OF VOLUNTEERS TO BE OHIO'S QUOTA OF THE UNITED STATES VOLUNTEER ARMY IN THE WAR WITH MEXICO. AFTER THE THREE REGIMENTS CALLED FOR HAD BEEN FURNISHED, THERE REMAINED AT THE RENDEZVOUS IN OHIO AN EXCESS OF TWELVE COMPANIES [ ONE OF WHICH WAS CAPTAIN H. O'DONNELL'S COMPANY, TO WHICH IT APPEARS JAMES WORKMAN BELONGED ], WHICH AS THEY COULD NOT BE ACCEPTED INTO THE SERVICE OF THE UNITED STATES, WERE DISBANDED BY THE GOVERNOR. THESE COMPANIES WERE NOT IN THE SERVICE OF THE UNITED STATES. IT IS PROPER TO ADD THAT THE COMPANIES WERE PAID FOR THE TIME THEY WERE AT RENDEZVOUS UNDER JOINT RESOLUTION OF CONGRESS APPROVED AUGUST 8, 1846. "
ALSO WRITTEN IN THE SAME REPLY WAS THE REJECTION FOR THE CIVIL WAR PENSION AS FOLLOWS:
" THE NAME JAMES WORKMAN HAS NOT BEEN FOUND ON THE ROLLS ON FILE IN THIS OFFICE OF COMPANY E, 1ST WEST VIRGINIA INFANTRY VOLUNTEERS, CIVIL WAR. "

1893 THOMAS WORKMAN IS NOT PRESENT IN THIS CITY DIRECTORY.

FROM THE CITY DIRECTORIES ONE MAY TRACE THE PRESENCE AND MOVEMENT OF THE WORKMAN'S IN WHEELING, VIRGINIA, WEST VIRGINIA. JAMES WORKMAN IS PRESENT IN THE 1851 CITY DIRECTORY, AS A BOARDER, OCCUPATION AS A MACHINIST. THIS SHOWS HIS PRESENCE IN THE CITY PRIOR TO HIS WEDDING TO MARY SHAW IN THE ISLAND CREEK PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, JEFFERSON COUNTY, OHIO, AUGUST 23, 1851. IT APPEARS THAT AS SOON AS JAMES AND MARY MARRIED THEY MOVED TO WHEELING, WHERE JAMES WAS WORKING AS A BLACKSMITH. JAMES DOES NOT APPEAR BETWEEN THE YEARS 1859 TO 1864. THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN THE TIME HE WAS SERVING IN THE CIVIL WAR. IN 1864, MARY JANE WORKMAN APPEARS AS A MILLINER LIVING AT THE JAMES AND MARY RESIDENCE. SHE IS ALSO FOUND IN THE 1860 CENSUS OF OHIO COUNTY, VIRGINIA. I BELIEVE SHE IS THE DAUGHTER OF GORDON WORKMAN, AND WOULD HAVE BEEN JAMES'S NIECE. THE FIRST TIME THOMAS WORKMAN APPEARS IN THE DIRECTORY IS 1867, AS A BRICK LAYER. I BELIEVE THIS THOMAS WORKMAN IS ALSO A SON OF GORDON WORKMAN, JAMES'S NEPHEW. FOUND IN THE OBITUARY OF GORDON WORKMAN IN THE STEUBENVILLE WEEKLY GAZETTE, UNDER " CHILDREN SURVIVING HIM ARE: THOMAS WORKMAN OF WHEELING; " ALSO FOUND IN THE 1860 FEDERAL CENSUS OF GORDON WORKMAN IS " THOMAS WORKMAN, OCCUPATION BRICK LAYER, AGE 20, BORN OHIO ". JAMES WORKMAN DOES NOT APPEAR AFTER THE 1867-1868 CITY DIRECTORY, AND THIS IS PROBABLY ABOUT THE TIME THE FAMILY MOVED TO WOOD COUNTY, WEST VIRGINIA.

JAMES WORKMAN AND MARY SHAW MARRIED IN THE ISLAND CREEK PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN ISLAND CREEK, JEFFERSON COUNTY, OHIO AUGUST 24, 1851, BY WILLIAM P. BREED, M. G. THE LICENSE WAS ISSUED ON AUGUST 23, 1851.

THERE ARE A NUMBER OF MISTAKES IN THIS CENSUS. FIRST CONCERNS THE BIRTH PLACES OF THE MEMBERS LISTED ABOVE. MARY WORKMAN IS A WIDOW AND HER HUSBAND WAS BORN IN IRELAND. MARY WAS BORN IN OHIO, HER FATHER WAS BORN IN MASSACHUSETTS, AND HER MOTHER IN PENNA., NOT VIRGINIA AS SHE STATES. ALL THE CHILDREN SHOULD HAVE FATHER BORN IN IRELAND AND MOTHER BORN IN OHIO. BIRTIE IS LISTED AS A FEMALE. THIS IS WRONG AS THE LAST CHILD OF MARY AND JAMES WAS CALLED BURT, AND HIS NAME WAS CHARLES EDWARD WORKMAN, A MALE. IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THE FAMILY IS NOT LIVING ON THE HOMESTEAD, BUT LIVING IN THE ST. JOHN AREA. THEIR HOMESTEAD WAS IN THE DOUGLAS TOWNSHIP. ALSO MARY JANE WORKMAN IS NOT LOCATED IN THIS CENSUS AND THE ASSUMPTION THAT SHE HAS MARRIED THOMAS COOPER WOULD APPEAR TO BE CORRECT.

THE INSCRIPTION ON THE MONUMENT OF JAMES WORKMAN LOCATED IN THE ST. JOHN CEMETERY, ST. JOHN, STAFFORD COUNTY, KANSAS STATES AS FOLLOWS:

JAMES WORKMAN
Co. E. 1st W. VA. VOL. Inf.
DIED
MAR. 14, 1878
AGED
55 Ys. 2 Ms. 17 Ds.
IF THIS IS A CORRECT STATEMENT, THEN USING THE NUMBERS OF 55 YEARS, 2 MONTHS, AND 17 DAYS, IT WOULD PLACE HIS BIRTH DATE AS DECEMBER 27, 1822, NOT DECEMBER 25. I AM GOING TO USE THIS DATE AS THE CORRECT DATE. IF ONE STUDIES THE 1860 AND 1870 CENSUS JAMES GIVES HIS AGE IN THE 1860 CENSUS AS 36 [ BORN 1824 ] AND THE 1870 CENSUS, AGE 49 [ BORN 1821 ]. SO ONE CAN SEE THAT JAMES WAS PROBABLY NOT COMPLETELY SURE OF HIS BIRTH DATE.

RECORDED IN THE STEUBENVILLE WEEKLY GAZETTE, DATED, FRIDAY, APRIL 12, 1878
" WORKMAN -- DIED FEBRUARY 8TH AT HIS RESIDENCE IN BARTON COUNTY, KANSAS, JAMES WORKMAN IN THE 65TH YEAR OF HIS AGE. " THERE ARE A NUMBER OF FACTS WRONG WITH THIS OBITUARY NOTICE, BUT IT APPEARS FAIRLY CLOSE TO THE ACTUAL FACTS AS KNOWN. THE CORRECTLY STATED FACTS IN THE ARTICLE ARE: [ 1 ] THE CORRECT NAME, JAMES WORKMAN; [ 2 ] THE CORRECT STATE OF DEATH, KANSAS; [ 3 ] THE CORRECT YEAR OF DEATH, 1878. THE INCORRECT FACTS IN THE OBITUARY ARE: [ 1 ] WRONG COUNTY IN KANSAS, SHOULD BE STAFFORD COUNTY NOT BARTON COUNTY, BUT BARTON COUNTY IS THE ADJACENT NORTHERN COUNTY TO STAFFORD, SO, HE COULD HAVE DIED THERE, BUT IT WAS NOT HIS HOME, TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE, [ 2 ] THE STONE MARKER OVER HIS GRAVE STATES HE DIED MARCH 14, 1878, NOT FEBRUARY 8, 1878, AND [ 3 ] HIS AGE ACCORDING TO THE STONE MARKER WAS 55 YEARS, NOT 65 YEARS. I BELIEVE THIS IS THE NOTICE OF JAMES WORKMAN'S DEATH, WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN RECEIVED ABOUT A MONTH LATER BY THE RELATIVES IN STEUBENVILLE, OHIO, AND PLACED IN THE PAPER. DUE TO DISTANCE AND TIME, MISTAKES COULD HAVE BEEN EASLY MADE. THE OTHER STATED FAMILY LORE IS THAT JAMES DIED AND WAS BURIED ON THE HOMESTEAD AND LATER EXHUMED AND MOVED TO THE ST. JOHN CEMETERY. IF THIS STORY IS CORRECT, THEN THE INDIVIDUALS THAT MOVED THE BODY AT A LATER TIME MIGHT HOT HAVE KNOWN THE EXACT DATES OF DEATH AND BIRTH AND AGE.

AN INTERESTING SIDE NOTE DISCOVERED IN STUDYING THE 1880 FEDERAL CENSUS OF JEFFERSON COUNTY, OHIO, IS THE FINDING OF A FAMILY, WILLIAM BATES, FAMILY. THE NAME GIVEN TO JAMES AND MARY WORKMAN'S 6TH CHILD HAS ALWAYS BEEN A MYSTERY, AS IT DOES NOT FOLLOW THE USUAL PATTERN OR METHOD OF NAMING A CHILD BORN IN THE 1860'S. WILLIAM BATES WORKMAN, COULD HAVE BEEN NAMED AFTER WILLIAM BATES IN THE JEFFERSON COUNTY AREA. THE WILLIAM BATES IN JEFFERSON COUNTY WAS ABOUT THE SAME AGE AS JAMES WORKMAN AND COULD HAVE BEEN A GOOD FRIEND OF A DISTANT RELATIVE. THE CENSUS OF 1880 IS AS FOLLOWS:
LIVING ON 3RD STREET, 3RD WARD, STEUBENVILLE, OHIO:
# 99;# 106 BATES, WILLIAM WHITE, MALE, AGE 55, BRICK LAYER, BORN OHIO, OH, ENG.
MARY J., WHITE, FEMALE, AGE 50, WIFE, PA., PA., PA.
GEORGE WHITE, MALE, AGE 23, SON, OH., PA., PA.
CORA B., WHITE, FEMALE, AGE 5, GRANDDAUGHTER, OH., OH., OH.
HIS OCCUPATION IS BRICK LAYER, THE SAME AS THOMAS WORKMAN, THE SON OF GORDON WORKMAN. IT IS PURE SPECULATION, BUT THE INTERESTING FACT THAT THEY ARE BOTH ABOUT THE SAME AGE AND LIVING AND GROWING UP IN THE SAME AREA COULD EXPLAIN WHERE THE WILLIAM BATES NAME AROSE.

FOUND IN THE RECORDS OF STAFFORD COUNTY IS A MARRIAGE LICENSE, DATED AUGUST 16, 1883. THE NAMED PERSONS APPLYING FOR MARRIAGE ARE DAVID LIVYER, AGE 55 YEARS AND MARY WORKMAN, AGE 46 YEARS. ON THE LICENSE BOTH DAVID AND MARY GIVE THEIR ADDRESS AS SEWARD, KANSAS. THIS WOULD BE THE GENERAL AREA THE HOMESTEAD WAS LOCATED. CHARLES EDWARD WORKMAN, YOUNGEST SON OF MARY AND JAMES WAS FROM SEWARD AND MARRIED HIS WIFE IN SEWARD IN 1916. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS THE MARY WORKMAN, WE ARE RESEARCHING. ONE PROBLEM IS THE AGE OF MARY, SHE GIVES HER AGE AS 46. HER BIRTH YEAR FROM CENSUS RECORDS WAS ABOUT 1831, SO HER AGE IN 1883 WOULD BE ABOUT 52, A 6 YEAR DIFFERENCE. SHE MAY HAVE GIVEN A YOUNGER AGE TO NOT LET HER FUTURE HUSBAND KNOW HER CORRECT AGE. AN INTERESTING NOTE, IS IN THE 1880 CENSUS IN STAFFORD COUNTY, SHE GIVES HER AGE AS 47. IN THREE YEARS SHE GOT ONE YEAR YOUNGER, IF THIS IS THE SAME WOMAN. THE PATENT FOR HER QUARTER SECTION OF LAND WAS ISSUED JULY 16, 1883 ANDHER MARRIAGE LICENSE WAS ISSUED ONE MONTH LATER AUGUST 16, 1883.

BURIED ELMWOOD CEMETERY, KANSAS CITY, JACKSON COUNTY, MISSOURI. A SIMPLE FLAT STONE READS: " MOTHER

Children of JAMES WORKMAN and MARY SHAW are:
32 i. HARRISON W.4 WORKMAN, born 1852 in VIRGINIA; died in MONTANA.

Notes for HARRISON W. WORKMAN:

HARRISON HAS BEEN A COMPLETE MYSTERY RESEARCHING HIS LIFE. I HAVE NOT FOUND WHERE HE WAS BORN OR THE DATE OF HIS BIRTH. I HAVE FINALLY COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT HE WAS BORN IN OHIO COUNTY, VIRGINIA [ WEST VIRGINIA ], BECAUSE I BELIEVE HIS FATHER, JAMES WORKMAN HAD ALREADY ESTABLISHED A RESIDENCE IN WHEELING, AND HAD A JOB THERE PRIOR TO HIS MARRIAGE TO MARY SHAW IN JEFFERSON COUNTY, OHIO, IN 1851. I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT THE WORKMAN'S LIVED IN JEFFERSON COUNTY, OHIO, AFTER THERE MARRIAGE AND THEN MOVED TO WHEELING, VIRGINIA, SOMETIME AFTER THE BIRTH OF HARRISON. BUT SUBSEQUENT RESEARCH HAS SHOWN JAMES IN WHEELING IN 1851 IN THE WHEELING CITY DIRECTORY, LIVING IN A BOARDING HOUSE AND WORKING AS A MACHINIST. THUS, THE WORKMAN'S WENT STRAIGHT TO WHEELING AFTER THE MARRIAGE AND HARRISON WOULD HAVE BEEN BORN SOMETIME AFTER THE MARRIAGE IN 1851, PROBABLY IN 1852. IN FACT, ALL THREE FEDERAL CENSUS THAT I HAVE DISCOVERED, POINTS CONSISTENTLY TO THIS DATE OF 1852, AND 2 OUT OF THE THREE, GIVE HIS BIRTH PLACE AS VIRGINIA, AND ONE AS OHIO. THE FEDERAL CENSUS I HAVE ARE :
* 1860 FEDERAL CENSUS, WHEELING, OHIO COUNTY, VIRGINIA [ WEST VIRGINIA FORMED IN 1859 ]:
WORKMAN, HARRISON AGE 8, MALE, WHITE, BORN VIRGINIA
* 1870 FEDERAL CENSUS, WOOD COUNTY, UNION TOWNSHIP, WEST VIRGINIA:
WORKMAN, HARRY W., AGE 18, MALE, WHITE, FARM LABOR, BORN OHIO
* 1880 FEDERAL CENSUS, STRAFFORD COUNTY, ST. JOHN TOWNSHIP, KANSAS:
WORKMAN. HARRISON AGE 28, MALE, WHITE, FARMER, BORN VIRGINIA
THE AGES IN THE ABOVE THREE CENSUS, FOR THIS PERIOD OF TIME, ARE VERY CONSISTENT. USUALLY VERY FEW INDIVIDUALS ACTUALLY KNOW THEIR EXACT DATE OF BIRTH, SO AT A LOSS TO ACCURATELY CALCULATE THEIR AGE AT THE TIME THE CENSUS IS RECORDED, BUT HARRISON IS CONSISTENT. EACH CENSUS ARE 10 YEARS APART, AND HARRISON GIVES AGES 8, 18, AND 28, WHICH IS PERFECT.

IT WOULD APPEAR THAT BOTH HIS MOTHER AND HARRISON OBTAINED HOMESTEAD LAND DURING THEIR STAY IN STAFFORD COUNTY. FROM THE RECORDS I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FIND, MARY WORKMAN FILED FOR A HOMESTEAD SOON AFTER JAMES DIED. I HAVE NOT FOUND THE ACTUAL RECORDS AT THIS DATE, BUT BELIEVE IT WAS FILED IN 1878. THE REASON I HAVE FOR THIS IS A COPY OF A " NOTICE OF SETTLERS DESIRING TO LEAVE " THAT SHOWS MARY REQUESTING THE RIGHT TO ABSENT HERSELF FROM THE LAND UNTIL OCTOBER 1, 1881. THE COPY STATES AS FOLLOWS:
" NOTICE OF SETTLERS DESIRING TO LEAVE

FULL NAME Mary Workman widow of James Workman
FULL ADDRESS Larned, Kansas

I HAVE A COPY OF A PATENT FOR MARY WORKMAN DATED JULY 16, 1883, FOR A HOMESTEAD OF A QUARTER SECTION OF LAND IN STAFFORD COUNTY, KANSAS. I HAVE ALSO A COPY OF A PATENT FOR HARRISON W. WORKMAN, DATED JULY 10, 1888 FOR A HOMESTEAD FOR 80 ACRES OF LAND ALSO IN STAFFORD COUNTY, KANSAS. IT APPEARS FROM RECORDS THAT HARRISON ALSO RECORDED ANOTHER PATENT FOR AN ADDITIONAL 80 ACRES AT THE SAME DATE, JULY 10, 1888. THE FIRST PATENT IS NUMBER 79 AND THE SECOND PATENT IS NUMBER 80, SO HE FILED BACK TO BACK PATENTS. SO, FROM THESE DOCUMENTS, IT WOULD APPEAR THE WORKMAN'S FARMED LAND IN THE COUNTY FOR A PERIOD OF ABOUT 10 YEARS. HARRISON MUST HAVE ABANDONED HIS HOMESTEAD SOMETIME AFTER 1890 AND AT THAT TIME TRAVELED TO MONTANA. THE FAMILY LORE IS THAT HARRISON WAS KILLED BY INDIANS IN MONTANA. HOW THIS INFORMATION WAS CONVEYED TO THE FAMILY IS UNKNOWN, AND THE DATE OF HIS DEATH IS ALSO UNKNOWN AT THIS TIME. I PLACE THE DEATH SOMETIME BETWEEN 1890 TO 1900. THE MAJOR PROBLEM IN FINDING DEATH RECORDS IN MONTANA IS THE STATE DID NOT KEEP A CENTRAL STATE DEATH RECORD UNTIL YEARS LATER. UP TO THAT TIME THE RECORDS WERE RECORDED BY EACH COUNTY IN MONTANA, AND IF ONE WISHES TO FIND A RECORD ONE MUST KNOW WHICH COUNTY TO SEARCH. AT THE PRESENT TIME I HAVE NOT ANY INFORMATION TO POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

Notes for THOMAS WORKMAN:

RECORDED IN THE MARRIAGES FOR JEFFERSON COUNTY, OHIO REGISTER AS FOLLOWS: ' THOMAS WORKMAN MARRIED MELISSA HARMON, OCTOBER 4, 1848. JOEL A. KELL SWORN AND AFFIDAVIT FILED. "

LISTED IN THE 1850 FEDERAL CENSUS, PAGE 56, DWELLING 401, FAMILY 422, JEFFERSON COUNTY, OHIO, AS FOLLOWS:
WORKMAN, THOMAS AGE 24, MALE, OCCUPATION COACH MAKER, BORN IRELAND
MELISSA AGE 25, FEMALE, BORN NEW YORK
ADDA V. AGE 1, FEMALE, BORN OHIO
WORKMAN, NANCY AGE 25, FEMALE, BORN IRELAND
NANCY IS LIVING IN THE HOUSEHOLD OF THOMAS WORKMAN AND 5 YEARS OLDER THEN HER BROTHER, BUT ABOUT THE SAME AGE AS THOMAS'S WIFE, MELISSA. I BELIEVE THEY ARE BROTHER AND SISTER, AND SINCE MARGARET WORKMAN [ WHO I BELIEVE IS THE MOTHER OF THIS FAMILY ] IS LIVING ALONE WITH ONE 15 YEAR OLD, MAYBE SHE CANNOT TAKE CARE OF NANCY AND SHE HAS MOVED IN WITH HER BROTHER AND WIFE.

LISTED IN THE 1850 CITY DIRECTORY OF STEUBENVILLE, OHIO IS: " WORKMAN, THOMAS, CARRIAGE MAKER, SIXTH BELOW ADAMS ".

THOMAS WORKMAN OCCUPATION IS STILL A COACH MAKER. ADDA FOUND IN THE 1850 CENSUS AS ONE YEAR OLD, IS NOT IN THIS CENSUS, SO PRESUME SHE HAS DIED AT A YOUNG AGE. SHE WOULD BE AGE 10. MELISSA IS SPELLED PHONETICALLY AND IT HAS A QUESTION MARK AFTER THE NAME SO THE CENSUS TAKER PROBABLY KNEW HE WAS NOT RECORDING THE PROPER SPELLING. THE AGE OF THOMAS IS ABOUT CORRECT. I BASE THIS LOGIC ON THE AGE GIVEN ON HIS ENTRANCE INTO THE UNITED STATES IN 1829 AS AGE 3, WHICH WOULD PLACE HIS BIRTH DATE AS 1826. HE WOULD HAVE BEEN ABOUT AGE 24 IN 1850 AND ABOUT AGE 34 IN 1860. NANCY WORKMAN IN THE 1850 CENSUS, WHO I BELIEVE IS HIS SISTER IS AGE 25.

ALEXANDER IS LIVING WITH HIS FATHER, JOHN WALKER. SOME MISTAKES IN THIS CENSUS, JOHN WALKER STATES HIS PARENTS WERE FOREIGN BORN. HIS MOTHER AND FATHER WERE ORIGINAL SETTLERS IN STEUBENVILLE AREA OF OHIO, SETTLING HERE IN 1774. I QUESTION RATHER JOHN WAS BORN IN VIRGINIA, BUT HIS PARENTS COULD HAVE BEEN ACROSS THE OHIO RIVER WHEN HE WAS BORN, IN WHAT IS NOW WEST VIRGINIA. THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN 1783, AND ACCORDING TO THE STORIES TOLD, THE INDIANS WERE QUITE ACTIVE IN THIS AREA AT THAT TIME, AND THEY COULD HAVE TAKEN REFUGE ACROSS THE RIVER DURING HIS BIRTH. IT IS MARGARETTA [ WORKMAN] THAT HAD FOREIGN BORN PARENTS, HER FATHER GORDON WORKMAN BORN IN IRELAND, AND HER MOTHER MARTHA LEE, STATES IN THE 1850 AND 1860 CENSUS, SHE WAS BORN IN OHIO, BUT IN THIS CENSUS, SHE STATES SHE WAS BORN IN IRELAND. I BELIEVE OHIO WOULD BE THE CORRECT PLACE OF BIRTH. GORDON WORKMAN AND MARTHA ARE LIVING NEXT DOOR TO ALEXANDER WALKER AND MARGARETTA [ WORKMAN ] WALKER.

VIRGINIA HAS HAD NO CHILDREN, THEY HAVE BEEN MARRIED 3 YEARS, SHE WAS BORN MISSOURI, FATHER BORN TENNESSEE, MOTHER BORN MISSOURI. SHE ANSWERS YES TO READ, WRITE, AND SPEAK ENGLISH. THE INTERESTING POINT IS THAT JAMES TOUPS WORKMAN, BORN IN 1904, SOON AFTER THIS CENSUS WAS RECORDED, WAS GIVEN THE MIDDLE NAME OF TOUPS. CHARLES TOUPS MUST HAVE BEEN A VERY GOOD FAMILY FRIEND AND WAS VERY IMPORTANT TO THE WORKMAN FAMILY TO HAVE GIVEN THE TOUPS SURNAME TO JAMES MIDDLE NAME.

I CANNOT FIND THE WORKMAN FAMILY IN THE 1910 CENSUS. I HAVE SEARCHED ILLINOIS, MISSOURI AND KANSAS, AND THE JOHN KASSEL CENSUS IN ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI. ACCORDING TO THE ABOVE STATEMENT MADE BY JAMES WORKMAN AT HIS DEATH, THEY MOVED TO WICHITA IN 1911, AND HE STATES HE WAS WORKING IN ARKANSAS AND OKLAHOMA PRIOR TO MOVING TO WICHITA. JAMES WAS ON THE ROAD, BUT NOT SURE WHERE BEATRICE AND CHILDREN WERE LIVING.

FOUND IN THE 1920 FEDERAL CENSUS, WICHITA, SEDGWICK COUNTY, KANSAS:
VOL. 56, E.D. 160, STREET 2 LINE 41 SOUNDEX W625
STREET ADDRESS; 238 LULU AVENUE
WORKMAN, JAMES
BEATRICE WIFE, AGE 50, BORN MO.
EDNA, DAUGHTER, AGE 23, BORN MO.
NOTE; THE OLDEST SON ALBERT JOHN WORKMAN IS MARRIED AND LIVING WITH HIS WIFE ON 235 LEWELLAN STREET, WICHITA IN THIS 1920 CENSUS. FOR UNKNOWN REASON JAMES T. WORKMAN IS NOT LISTED IN THE 1920 CENSUS IN WICHITA AND NOT LIVING AT HOME. JAMES T. WAS BORN IN 1904 SO HE WOULD HAVE BEEN AGE 16 AT THIS CENSUS, AND MAY HAVE MOVED OUT OF THE HOME. I AM NOT SURE WHERE HE WAS LIVING AT THIS TIME. JAMES T. DID STATE AT ONE TIME THAT THE HIGHEST GRADE SCHOOL HE ATTENDED WAS 8TH GRADE, AT WHICH TIME HE STOPPED GOING TO SCHOOL TO GO TO WORK. HIS AGE AT THAT TIME WOULD HAVE BEEN ABOUT 14.

Notes for CHARLES EDWARD WORKMAN:
BURIED - 19 JANUARY, 1945, ULYSSES CEMETERY, ULYSSES, GRANT COUNTY, KANSAS

OCCUPATION - JOCKEY AND FARMER

CHARLES IS FIRST FOUND IN THE 1880 FEDERAL CENSUS, STAFFORD COUNTY, KANSAS, LIVING WITH HIS MOTHER, MARY [ SHAW ] WORKMAN, BROTHERS AND SISTERS. THEY HAVE TRAVELED FROM WOOD COUNTY, WEST VIRGINIA, BY WAGON, TO STAFFORD COUNTY, KANSAS. THE FAMILY ARRIVED IN THE AREA SOMETIME IN 1877, AND JAMES DIED THE FIRST PART OF 1878. THE FAMILY HAS TAKEN A HOMESTEAD IN THE WESTERN SECTION OF STAFFORD COUNTY, DOUGLAS TOWNSHIP. BECAUSE OF JAMES'S DEATH THE FAMILY IS RECORDED IN THE 1880 CENSUS AS LIVING IN ST. JOHN, KANSAS. MARY STATES ON THE CENSUS SHE IS FARMING BY PROXIE. CHARLES EDWARD WORKMAN IS LISTED AS FOLLOWS:
* WORKMAN, BIRDIE WHITE, FEMALE, AGE 4, BORN VA., VA., VA.
THIS CENSUS IS WRONG FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS: 1 - CHARLES HAD A NICKNAME OF "BURT". THIS SOMEHOW WAS RECORDED BY THE CENSUS TAKER AS BIRDIE AND CLASSIFIED AS FEMALE, IT SHOULD BE MALE; 2 - CHARLES WAS BORN IN VIRGINIA, BUT HIS FATHER WAS BORN IN IRELAND AND HIS MOTHER WAS BORN IN OHIO.

SOON AFTER THIS CENSUS WAS RECORDED, THE TWO OLDEST SONS, HARRISON AND JAMES LEFT THE HOMESTEAD AND WENT TO WORK IN SEPARATE AREAS OF THE COUNTRY, HARRISON, ACCORDING TO FAMILY LORE WENT TO MONTANA, AND ACCORDING TO JAMES LIFE STORY RECORDED IN HIS LATER YEARS, WENT TO COLORADO TO WORK ON A CREW BUILDING TELEGRAPH LINES FOR THE RAILROAD. CHARLES WOULD HAVE BEEN QUITE YOUNG AT THIS POINT AND WOULD HAVE STAYED WITH HIS MOTHER. IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THE REMAINING FAMILY MEMBERS ARE WILLIAM BATES, RHETTA, ANNA AND CHARLES, STAYING WITH THE MOTHER, MARY WORKMAN. THIS MUST HAVE BEEN A VERY HARD TIME FOR MARY WITH THE OLDER BOYS GONE AND A ABLE BODY MAN NOT AVAILABLE FOR WORKING THE HOMESTEAD.

CHARLES STAYED AROUND THE STAFFORD COUNTY, KANSAS, AREA AND MARRIED VIOLA ANN SMITH IN SEWARD, STAFFORD COUNTY, KANSAS, JULY 4, 1915. THE CLIPPING FROM THE LOCAL PAPER, " ST. JOHN WEEKLY NEWS ", DATED THURSDAY, JULY 15, 1915, STAES AS FOLLOWS:
" SMITH - WORKMAN A MOST BEAUTIFUL HOME WEDDING TOOK PLACE ON SUNDAY, JULY 4TH, 1915 , AT ONE O'CLOCK AT THE HOME OF MR. AND MRS. D. N. SMITH, OF SEWARD TOWNSHIP, WHEN THEIR DAUGHTER, MISS VIOLA ANN AND MR. C. E. WORKMAN WERE UNITED IN THE HOLY BONDS OF MATRIMONY.
THE BRIDE WAS BEAUTIFULLY ATTIRED IN WHITE EMBROIDERED VOLLE AND NET AND CARRIED A CHARMING BOUQUET OF WHITE CHRYSANTHENIUMS AND FERNS, WHILE THE GROOM WORE A DARK BLUE SUIT.
THE BRIDE IS THE ONLY DAUGHTER OF MR. AND MRS. D. N. SMITH AND IS HELD IN HIGH ESTEEM BY ALL WHO KNOW HER. SHE IS ONE OF STAFFORD COUNTY'S FINEST LITTLE LADIES AND HAS A WIDE CIRCLE OF FRIENDS. MR. WORKMAN IS AN ENERGETIC FARMER WITH PLENTY OF LOYAL FRIENDS. THE NEWLY MARRIED COUPLE WILL MAKE THEIR FUTURE HOME NINE MILES NORTH AND FIVE WEST OF ST. JOHN, WHERE THE GROOM HAD A HOME ALREADY NICELY FURNISHED FOR THE COMING OF THE BRIDE, AND THEY HAVE TAKEN WITH THEM THE BEST WISHES OF THEIR MANY ACQUAINTANCES.
THE CERMONY WAS PERFORMED PROMPTLY AT ONE O'CLOCK BY REV. B. F. MARTIN OF WINFIELD IN THE PRESENCE OF FIFTY-TWO RELATIVES AND FRIENDS, AFTER WHICH A DELICIOUS REPAST WAS SERVED. THE AFTERNOON WAS PLEASANTLY SPENT IN VARIOUS WAYS.
THE YOUNG COUPLE RECEIVED MANY USEFUL AND BEAUTIFUL WEDDING GIFTS.
THOSE PRESENT AT THE WEDDING WERE:
MR. AND MRS J. H. SHAW, DR. AND MRS. GLEASON, FLOYD DIXON, OSCAR BROWN, MARIE GLEASON, CLARA MARTIN, MR. AND MRS. ED GLEASON, EDITH SMITH, VENTIE GANDOLPH, MR. AND MRS. I. M. SMITH, MR. AND MRS. JOHN BOOKSTORE, MR. AND MRS. JOHN GLEASON, MR. AND MRS. NELSON GLEASON, MR. AND MRS. OSCAR SMITH, AND FAMILY, EDNA SMITH, MRS. N. J. SMITH, HERBERT SHAW, GEORGE GLEASON, DAVID BOOKSTORE, LOIS GORE, ZELLA REYNOLDS, ELIZABETH SMITH, ROY SMITH, LESTER SHAW, VERNE GLEASON, HIRAM SMITH, BEULAH CRAWFORD, MR. AND MRS. A. L. SMITH, AND FAMILY, JOHN SMITH, CLINTON B. SMITH, CLARA SMITH, PERLE DIXON, JOHN B. DAVIS, JAMES SMITH, BLANCHE DIXON, MERLE SHAW, J. E. SHAMBERGER AND HAZEL GLEASON.
MR. AND MRS. WORKMAN ARE NOW " AT HOME " TO THEIR MANY FRIENDS, WHO WISH THEM A LIFE-LONG HAPPINESS. "

IN JUST A PERIOD OF ABOUT ONE YEAR AFTER THE MARRIEAGE OF VIOLA AND CHARLES, VIOLA GAVE BIRTH TO HER FIRST CHILD, MARY MAY WORKMAN, JUNE 2, 1916. THIS WAS THE START OF THE FAMILY THAT WOULD GO ON TO HAVE 18 CHILDREN OVER A SPACE OF 23 YEARS. CHARLES GAINED A REPUTATION OF BEING A VERY FINE KANSAS JOCKEY BECAUSE OF HIS SMALL STATURE AND MOST OF HIS LIFE WAS SPENT FARMING.

THE MOST FAMOUS INCIDENT FOR THIS FAMILY HAPPENED IN 1934, WHEN AFTER HAVING 12 CHILDREN, VIOLA ON SEPTEMBER 28, GAVE BIRTH TO TRIPLETS, MAKING A TOTAL OF 15 CHILDREN.

Notes for VIOLA ANN SMITH:
BURIED - AUGUST 14, 1986 IN WHITEROSE CEMETERY, BARTLESVILLE, OKLAHOMA.

CHURCH - BAPTIST

VIOLA [ SMITH ] WORKMAN GAINED NATIONAL ATTENTION IN 1934 WHEN SHE DELIVERED TRIPLETS, AFTER HAVING 12 CHILDREN TO ARRIVE AT A TOTAL OF 15 CHILDREN. HER STORY WAS WRITTEN IN THE NEWSPAPERS OF THE DAY AND THE FOLLOWING IS THE ARTICLE FOUND IN THE WICHITA EAGLE PAPER, DATED SEPT 28, 1934:
" SATANTA, KANSAS, SEPT. 28 -- NOW COMES KANSAS TO JOIN THE VOGUE FOR MULTIPLE BIRTHS. AND IN THIS INSTANCE WE HAVE THE MAIN CHARACTER A SUN-TANNED FARM WOMAN WHO CAPS HER CAREER WITH TRIPLETS TO BRING HER TOTAL TO 15 CHILDREN--- AND ALREADY A GRANDMOTHER AT THE AGE OF 38.
ONE OF THE TRIPLETS, IRENE LURA, THE THIRD AND HEAVIEST, DIED OF A CONGENITAL DEFORMITY OF THE HEART 11 HOURS AFTER BIRTH. BUT THE OTHER TWO --- THE 13TH AND 14TH OF HER PRODUCTION -- APPEAR TO BE WELL STARTED ON THE ROAD OF LIFE. AS FOR THE MOTHER HERSELF; A DAY AFTER BIRTH OF THE TRIPLETS SHE ATE HEARTILY OF GREEN BEANS, CHICKEN AND COOKED FRUIT AS SHE TALKED CASUALLY OF HER EXPERIENCE. SHE RESTED COMFORTABLY IN THE HOME OF A NEIGHBOR, WHO HAD BETTER ACCOMMODATIONS THAN HER OWN MODEST HOME, AND UNCOVERED ILENE MAE SO THAT HER MANY VISITORS COULD SEE HER NARROW FACE AS COMPARED WITH ALENE FAY'S PLUMP CHEEKS AND VAGRANT HAIR.
ELEVEN OF HER CHILDREN CAST ADMIRING GLANCES AT THE SURVIVING TRIPLETS, AND WERE CONTENT TO BASK IN REFLECTED GLORY. ANOTHER OF HER CHILDREN HAD BECOME A MOTHER LESS THAN TWO WEEKS AGO IN MISSOURI, AND PROBABLY AT THE TIME HER MOTHER WAS DISPLAYING THE TWO TRIPLETS, WAS ENGAGED IN MOTHERLY DUTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE GRANDSON OF THE MOTHER OF TRIPLETS.
BUT LET US PEEK BACK A FEW DAYS, TO THE MORNING OF SEPTEMBER 17, TO BE EXACT, AND WITNESS THE CASUAL TRIPLETS. A FEW MINUTES BEFORE SIX O'CLOCK, DOWN IN THE SANDY BREAKS OF THE CIMARRON RIVER, SIX MILES WEST OF SATANTA, MRS RAY LIGHTY HURRIED TWO AND A QUARTER MILES SOUTH TO THE WORKMAN HOME, HAVING BEEN ADVISED THAT THE BEGINNING OF LIFE WAS IMMINENT. LONG SINCE SHE HAD PREVAILED UPON MRS. WORKMAN TO COME BY HER HOUSE FOR THE EVENT, EVEN AS THE DOCTOR HAD TRIED TO INDUCE MRS. WORKMAN TO COME TO THE HOSPITAL IN SATANTA. BUT MRS. WORKMAN, REMEMBERING THE FAMILY FINANCES, HAD DESISTED. HER OWN HOME OFFERED NO ACCOMMODATIONS FOR BIRTH; A TWO ROOM SODDY, ONE WALL DAMAGED,WITH EARTHEN FLOORS. AND THE WATER HAD DRIED UP, NECESSITATING HAULING TO SUPPLY THE FAMILY NEEDS. IN THIS LITTLE HOUSE LIVED 11 CHILDREN AND THE MOTHER AND FATHER.
SO, MRS. LIGHTY TOOK MRS. WORKMAN TO THE FORMER'S LARGER HOME. MEANTIME, ANOTHER NEIGHBOR, C. P. HADDICAN, UTILIZED HIS TELEPHONE TO SUMMON DR. J. B. UNGLES OF SATANTA. THE DOCTOR HAD KNOWN THAT MULTIPLE BIRTHS WERE PROBABLE , AND AS HE RUSHED TO THE LIGHTY HOME HE WAS PREPARING FOR DELICATE WORK WITHOUT MODERN FACILITIES. HE HAD OFFICIATED AT THE BIRTH OF THE LAST WORKMAN CHILD JUNE 22, 1933.
HE ARRIVED BARELY IN TIME TO SUPERVISE THE FIRST EVENT. ANOTHER BABY ARRIVED ABOUT SIX MINUTES LATER, AND IN ABOUT THE SAME INTERVAL, THE THIRD.
MRS. LIGHTY TOOK A PERSONAL INTEREST IN SUGGESTING NAMES FOR THE THREE, AND WITH HER HELP, THIS FORMALITY WAS QUICKLY EXECUTED. THE OLDEST WAS CALLED ILENE MAE; THE SECOND ALENE FAY. THE THIRD AND HEAVIEST, WHO LATER DIED, WAS NAMED IRENE LURA. IRENE WEIGHED FIVE POUNDS, DRESSED, AND THEY KNOCKED OFF HALF A POUND FOR HER CLOTHES. THE TINIEST, ILENE MAE, WEIGHED ONLY THREE POUNDS. THE INTERMEDIATE, ALENE FAY, WAS NOT WEIGHED, BUT HER WEIGHT WAS ESTIMATED AT FOUR POUNDS.
TRIPLETS ARE NOT UNUSUAL, NOR IS THEIR CONTINUED LIFE A RARITY. BUT TRIPLETS FOR A GRANDMOTHER PERHAPS ARE UNPRECEDENTED, AND THE FACT THAT TWO OF THEM APPEAR TO BE SPRIGHTLIER THAN THE AVERAGE BABY OF EQUAL DAYS MAKES A CASE OF PERTINENT INTEREST NOT ONLY TO THE MEDICAL PROFESSION BUT TO OTHER FATHERS AND MOTHERS.
DR. UNGLES POINTS OUT THAT THE AGE OF THE MOTHER PERHAPS GIVES THE REMAINING TRIPLETS A HANDICAPPED FIGHT FOR LIFE. " SO MANY BIRTHS IN SUCCESSION FOR THE MOTHER LEFT THEM A DOUBTFUL RISK, " HE SAID. " BUT IT IS NOT UNUSUAL FOR TRIPLETS TO LIVE." IF THE MOTHER HAD BEEN YOUNGER TO GIVE THEM THE VITALITY THEY NEED, THEY PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN PERFECTLY ALL RIGHT. ALL THE OTHER CHILDREN ARE HEALTHY. "
" I AM GLAD THAT THE TRIPLETS WERE ALL GIRLS. IF ONE OF THEM WAS A GIRL, " MRS. WORKMAN TOLD VISITORS. " SOME PEOPLE HAVE ASKED IF I DIDN'T WANT ONE OF THEM TO BE A BOY. BUT NOW I CAN DRESS THE TWO ALIKE. HERE, YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE IS NOT MUCH DIFFERENCE IN THEM, EXCEPTING IN SIZE, AND PROBABLY THERE WILL BE NO DIFFERENCE IN A FEW YEARS. THERE IS NOT A MARK ON EITHER OF THEM."
QUICKLY RECOVERED FROM HER ORDEAL,HARDENED AND TANNED BY LIFE ON THE FARM, WHICH ENTAILS FOR HER CONSIDERABLE WORK OUTDOORS. MRS. WORKMAN LOOKS NOT A DAY OLDER THAN 38. YET THOSE THIRTY-EIGHT YEARS HAVE BEEN CROWDED WITH MORE " REALITY ", NOT ONLY IN MOTHERHOOD BUT IN EVERYDAY LIFE, THAN MOST WOMEN EXPERIENCE IN A LIFETIME.
MR. WORKMAN IS 59. THEY HAVE LIVED ON THEIR PRESENT FARM, IN SOUTHEASTER GRANT COUNTY, FIVE YEARS, COMING FROM STAFFORD COUNTY, KANSAS. COUNTING THE TRIPLETS, FOUR OF THE CHILDREN WERE BORN AT THE LIGHTYS'. TWO OTHERS WERE BORN AT MR. WORKMAN'S MOTHER'S HOME, FIRST IN COFFEYVILLE, KANSAS, THEN IN BARTLESVILLE, OKLAHOMA. THE REST SAW THE LIGHT OF DAY IN THIER OWN HOME.
LESS THAN TWO WEEKS AGO, EVEN AS SHE PREPARED CASUALLY FOR AN ADDITION TO HER FAMILY, MRS. WORKMAN BECAME A GRANDMOTHER. THE OLDEST OF HER CHILDREN, MRS. MARY MAE JONES, 18 YEARS OLD, GAVE BIRTH TO A SON, SEPTEMBER 7, ON A FARM NEAR GOODMAN, MISSOURI, WHERE SHE IS LIVING. THE DAUGHTER WAS MARRIED IN AUGUST, 1933.
NEXT TO MRS. JONES IN AGE AMONG THE WORKMAN CHILDREN COMES JAMES DAVIS, 17 YEARS OLD, WHO HELPS HIS FATHER AND FOUR HORSES EARN $14.75 FOR TWO AND HALF DAYS WORK EACH WEEK ON THE WORKMAN FARM-RANCH IN THE ROLLING CIMARRON VALLEY. NO VISITOR WOULD GAINSAY THAT IF EVER A FARM HOME WAS ENTITLED TO GOVERNMENT COOPERATION THROUGH THE REHABILITATION PROGRAM IT IS THE WORKMANS'. THE MONEY IS EARNED BY STACKING RUSSIAN THISTLES FOR STOCK FEED, MAKING 'DOBE BLOCKS TO REPAIR THE HOME AND DIGGING OUT FOR A FARM POND.
THAT $14.75 WEEKLY AND WHAT THE FAMILY CAN SCRAPE FROM THE SANDY FARM IS STRETCHED FOR THE NEEDS OF THIS BIG FAMILY, ALTHOUGH NEIGHBORS AND FRIENDS IN SATANTA CHIP IN WITH GIFTS OF CLOTHING AND FOOD. ALL THE WORKMANS ARE " GOOD FEEDERS ", TO USE THE FATHER'S DESCRIPTION. BEFORE THE GOVERNMENT OFFERED $14.75 A WEEK THERE WAS ONLY HARDER PINCHING AND MORE CONCERN.
NEXT TO "J.D." COMES ANNA RETTIE, 16, WHO WON SIXTEEN 4-H CLUB RIBBONS RECENTLY IN ULYSSES. THEN MYRL, 15, ALSO A 4-H CLUB RIBBON WINNER. CHARLES, 14, CARRIED ON THE SUCCESSION OF ONE A YEAR. THEN [ AS MRS. WORKMAN EXPLAINED WHEN SHE AND HER HUSBAND WERE REVIEWING THEIR FAMILY } THERE WAS A " CHOPPING OFF ". LENA, 11, CAME NEXT, BARBARA, 10, AND GENEVIEVE, 9, CONTINUED THE ORDER. THE WORKMANS DEBATED A LITTLE AND DECIDED THAT HOWARD CAME BEFORE RUBY IRLVEAN. YES, HOWARD WAS 5 AND RUBY IRVLEAN, 4, JUANITA, 3, MARKED ANOTHER INTERRUPTION IN THE SCHEME OF THINGS. PAUL WAS ONLY A YEAR OLD JUNE 22, LAST.
AND THEN ILENE MAE AND ALENE FAY, THERE BY THEIR MOTHER, HUDDLED DOWN IN BLANKETS WHICH NEIGHBORS HAD PROVIDED---BECAUSE WHEN MRS. WORKMAN WAS TAKEN TO THE LIGHTY HOME ONLY A FEW MINUTES BEFORE THE DOCTOR ARRIVED SHE HAD NO CLOTHES EVEN FOR ONE BABY, LET ALONE THREE. AND IRENE LURA IN THE CASKET IN AN ADJOINING ROOM. BUT FOURTEEN WERE ALIVE AND BRISK, AND ONE OF THE FOURTEEN WAS A MOTHER, AND THE ONE IN THE CASKET NEVER HAD BECOME FAMILIAR TO THEM. FOUR BOYS, TEN GIRLS LIVING.
ALL OF THE CHILDREN OF SCHOOL AGE, EXCEPTING ANNA ATTEND THE HILLSIDE SCHOOL, FOUR AND A HALF MILES FROM THE FARM.

ANTHONY'S CHURCH IN WICHITA, KANSAS, BY REV. APOLLINARIS CRABHER. IT IS INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT ALBERT LIST HIS RESIDENCE AS BOWIE, TEXAS.

ALBERT JOHN WORKMAN SERVED IN THE UNITED STATES ARMY IN WORLD WAR I:
FOUND IN THE UNITED STATES NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS; ALBERT SERVED FROM JUNE 25, 1918 TO AUGUST 19, 1919. HIS SERVICE NUMBER WAS; 3656091. HE RECEIVED AN HONORABLE DISCHARGE AS A PRIVATE, FIRST CLASS. HIS PLACE OF ENTRY WAS WICHITA, KANSAS AND PLACE OF DISCHARGE WAS CAMP DODGE, IOWA. IT DOES NOT STATE IF HE WAS DRAFTED OR ENLISTED, BUT FROM A NEWSPAPER ARTICLE PRINTED AT THE TIME, IT STATES " WHEN THE 85 SELECTED SERVICE MEN LEFT", IT WOULD APPEAR ALBERT WAS DRAFTED.

FOUND IN THE LOCAL PAPER IN WICHITA, DATED 1918, THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE:
" 85 SERVICE MEN GO TO CAMP CODY
THEY WERE ESCORTED TO TRAIN BY KANSAS STATE GUARD AND SHRINE BAND
HUNDREDS FILLED THE CONCOURSE OF THE UNION STATION AND THEN THRONGED THE TERMINAL TRACKS ABOVE WHEN THE 85 SELECTED SERVICE MEN LEFT AT 6:15 O'CLOCK LAST EVENING FOR CAMP CODY, DEMING, N.M. THERE WERE SMILES FROM THE MAJORITY. OTHERS COULD NOT SUPPRESS THEIR SOBS. BAND MUSIC DISPELLED MUCH OF THE SADNESS.
" STRIKE UP THE 'STARS AND STRIPES', SAID MARCUS WHITEHEAD OF DIVISION NO. 1 AND WHILE THE MIDIAN SHRINE BAND PLAYED THE FAMOUS SOUSA NUMBER, MR. WHITEHEAD STOOD IN THE CENTER OF THE CIRCLE OF BAND MEN AND DID SOME FANCY DIRECTING THAT BROUGHT A ROUND OF APPLAUSE.
DAVID BARNES OF THE GUARANTEE & TITLE TRUST COMPANY, WAS CAPTAIN OF DIVISION NO. 1.
" I'll GET YOU A RATTLESNAKE SKIN," SAID CAPTAIN BARNES TO A GIRL FRIEND. CAPTAIN BARNES SAID NEW MEXICO IS NOTED FOR ITS RATTLERS.
A. J. WORKMAN OF DIVISION NO. 2, WAS THE CENTER OF A GROUP OF RELATIVES. THERE HAD BEEN A FAMILY REUNION AT THE WORKMAN HOME IN HONOR OF THE DEPARTURE OF MR. WORKMAN AND IN CELEBRATION OF THE SILVER WEDDING ANNIVERSARY OF MR. AND MRS. JAMES WORKMAN, PARENTS. THE ANNIVERSARY HAD TAKEN PLACE AHEAD OF TIME BECAUSE OF MR. WORKMAN'S LEAVING.
THE MEN WERE ESCORTED FROM THE CITY HALL AT 5:30 O'CLOCK BY THE KANSAS STATE GUARDS AND THE MIDIAN SHRINE AND PEERLESS PRINCESS BANDS. W. M. G. HOWSE, VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE ROTARY CLUB, WITH MISS MARIE DOWNING, CLERK OF DIVISION NO. 2, MARCHED IN FRONT OF THE MEN OF THIS DIVISION.
AT THE STATION THE STATE GUARDS FORMED A DOUBLE LINE THRU WHICH THE MEN MARCHED.
THE WICHITA MEN WENT IN TWO SPECIAL COACHES ATTACHED HERE IN THE REGULAR SANTE FE TRAIN. THERE WERE 16 MEN TAKEN ON AT WELLINGTON AND OTHERS ALONG THE WAY, SCHEDULED TO GO TO CAMP CODY. "

I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND THE WORKMAN FAMILY IN THE 1910 FEDERAL CENSUS IN ILLINOIS, MISSOURI OR KANSAS. THE FAMILY MOVED TO WICHITA SOMETIME IN 1910-1911, AND FEEL THEY WERE NOT LISTED IN THIS CENSUS. I CHECKED THE JOHN KASSEL FAMILY IN ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI, IN THE 1910 CENSUS, WITH THE IDEA THAT THE FAMILY MAY HAVE MOVED INTO HIS HOME WHILE JAMES MOVED BUT NOT LOCATED THERE.

ALBERT AND ESTHER WORKMAN MOVED TO GUTHRIE, OKLAHOMA, SOMETIME AFTER THE 1920 FEDERAL CENSUS. THEY SETTLED IN GUTHRIE, AND OPENED THEIR OWN BUSINESS, " WORKMAN'S BAKERY ". THE STORE WAS ON THE MAIN STREET, WITH THE FAMILY LIVING ABOVE THE STORE. LOCATED IN THE OBITUARY OF THE PAPER AT THE TIME OF ESTHER'S DEATH, IT IS NOTED THAT SHE HAS BEEN A " GUTHRIE RESIDENT FOR 50 YEARS ", SO THIS WOULD PLACE THE MOVE IN 1920. LATER ALBERT AND ESTHER BOUGHT THE IONE HOTEL, LOCATED ON MAIN STREET AND OPERATED THE HOTEL UNTIL THEIR RETIREMENT. ESTHER DIED FEBRUARY 15, 1970, AND SOON AFTER THIS ALBERT SOLD THE HOTEL AND MOVED TO DEVINE, TEXAS TO LIVE WITH HIS DAUGHTER, HELEN VIRGINIA [ WORKMAN ] SMITH. THEY LIVED AT 624 NORTH ELM STREET, GUTHRIE, OKLAHOMA.

SOCIAL SECURITY FOR JAMES WORKMAN; # 192-10-8660; ISSUED PENNSYLVANIA.

TRACING THE LIFE OF JAMES T. WORKMAN: JAMES WAS BORN IN THE ST. LOUIS MISSOURI SUBURB OF FRENCH VILLAGE, LOCATED ON THE EASTERN SIDE OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER IN EAST ST. LOUIS AND LOCATED IN ILLINOIS. HIS FATHER WAS WORKING ON VARIOUS JOBS WHILE JAMES WAS GROWING UP, BUT WAS MOSTLY CONNECTED WITH RAILROADS AND TELEGRAPH WIRES AND THE MAINTENANCE OF THESE WIRES, BOTH FOR WESTERN UNION AND FOR THE RAILROADS. HE WAS TRANSFERRED TO WICHITA, KANSAS, IN 1911, WORKING FOR THE FRISCO RAILROAD, MAINTAINING AND INSPECTING THE TELEGRAPH LINES OF THE RAILROAD. JAMES WOULD HAVE BEEN AGE 7 AT THIS TIME. JAMES QUIT SCHOOL AFTER HIS 8TH GRADE, DUE TO FAMILY FINANCES AND WENT TO WORK AT VARIOUS JOBS OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS. HE WORKED AS A GARAGE MECHANIC, AN USHER IN A LOCAL MOVIE THEATRE [ HIS OLDER SISTER, EDNA, WAS A CASHIER IN THE THEATRE AND PROBABLY GOT HIM THE JOB ], AND PLAYED A UKULELE IN A LOCAL BAND CALLED: " GAGE BREWER'S HAWAIIANS ". THE BAND OR ORCHESTRA PLAYED IN CLUBS AND ON THE RADIO. IT WAS FAIRLY UNIQUE FOR THAT AREA, WICHITA, KANSAS, TO HAVE AN HAWAIIAN ORCHESTRA. THEY PLAYED MOSTLY AT THE HOTEL LASSEN IN WICHITA, AND ON THE RADIO STATION KFH THAT BROADCAST FROM THE HOTEL LASSEN. THEY WERE ON THE RADIO, STARTING IN DECEMBER 1926. IN JULY 1928 THE ORCHESTRA MADE A PROMOTIONAL TRIP FROM WICHITA TO LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA. THE ORCHESTRA RECEIVED FROM CHRYSLER MOTOR COMPANY A USED 1927 "50" COACH, A NEW TYPE OF MOTOR COACH FOR THIS PERIOD OF TIME. AT THIS TIME THERE WERE VERY FEW PAVED ROADS AND, AND NO MAPS OR DIRECTIONS, SO MOTOR TRAVEL WAS FROM TOWN TO TOWN, ASKING HOW TO GET TO THE NEXT TOWN, ACROSS THE COUNTRY. GAGE BREWER AND THE ORCHESTRA MADE THE TRIP IN JULY 1928, AND WAS CONSIDERED IN THE NEWSPAPERS, QUITE A FEAT. QUOTING FROM THE WICHITA EAGLE NEWSPAPER: " AT 3:49 P.M., SATURDAY, JULY 21, 1928, MR. BREWER SENT THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE FROM THE WESTERN UNION OFFICE AT 158 NORTH TOPEKA AVENUE TO E. J. RODDA, OF THE RODDA MOTOR COMPANY, 200 SOUTH LAWRENCE: WE ARE AT THIS TIME STARTING FOR LOS ANGELES. " BREWER AND HIS GROUP ARRIVED IN LOS ANGELES: " AT 1:56 A.M., JULY 24, 1928, OR 58 HOURS, 7 MINUTES FROM THE TIME THEY LEFT WICHITA. THIS FINAL WIRE WAS SENT TO MR. RODDA, FROM LOS ANGELES: " ARRIVED HERE WITH OUT ANY MOTOR TROUBLE THE ENTIRE TRIP." SIGNED GAGE E. BREWER ". IN LOS ANGELES, AND THE PURPOSE OF THE TRIP WAS A GUEST APPEARANCE ON RADIO STATION KFI IN LOS ANGELES AND OTHER GUEST RADIO APPEARANCES OVER A PERIOD OF TWO WEEKS. THEY TRAVELED A TOTAL OF 1594 MILES, AND CARRIED ALL OF THEIR BAND EQUIPMENT, FOUR OCCUPANTS, FOOD, WATER, GASOLINE, OIL, AND ALL OTHER ESSENTIALS THEY THOUGHT WOULD BE NECESSARY FOR THE TRIP. IN JULY 1927 THE BAND MADE ANOTHER PROMOTIONAL TRIP, THIS TIME VISITING RADIO STATIONS THROUGHOUT THE AREA, AND BROADCASTING THEIR MUSIC. THE TRIP TOOK THEM TO KFUM IN COLORADO SPRINGS, KFXL IN DENVER, KSL IN SALT LAKE CITY, KFAB IN LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, KMMJ IN CLAY CENTER, NEBRASKA, WOW IN OMAHA, NEBRASKA, AND KOIL IN COUNCIL BLUFFS, IOWA. DURING THE DAY JAMES WENT TO WORK AT THE PIERCE DENTAL LABORATORY, STARTING AS A PLASTER BOY, AND WORKING HIS WAY UP TO DENTURE SET UP . DURING ONE OF HIS TRIPS TO VISIT RELATIVES IN THE OZARK AREA OF CHRISTIAN COUNTY, MISSOURI, HE WAS INTRODUCED TO MILDRED LORENA FARMER, BY HIS COUSIN SYLVESTER RAHM. SYLVESTER AT THE TIME WAS DATING JOSEPHINE DEEDS, A CLASSMATE OF MILDRED AND A DOUBLE DATE WAS ARRANGED BY "JO" FOR JAMES TO MEET MILDRED. THEY HAD AN IMMEDIATE ATTRACTION AND THEY WERE MARRIED IN WICHITA, OCTOBER 28, 1929. JAMES AND MILDRED PURCHASED A HOME IN WICHITA, AT 1740 SOUTH MARKET. JAMES CONTINUED TO WORK BY DAY AT THE PIERCE DENTAL LAB AND BY NIGHT WITH THE GAGE BREWER ORCHESTRA. THEIR SON WAS BORN JULY 28, 1929, IN WICHITA, NAMED JAMES LeRoy WORKMAN. THE DEPRESSION WAS JUST STARTING AT THIS TIME AND TIMES BECAME VERY TOUGH, JAMES COULD NOT MEET THE PAYMENTS OF THE HOUSE AND THE BANK FORECLOSED. FORTUNATELY THE BANK HAD SO MANY FORECLOSURES, AND THEY COULD NOT SELL ANY OF THEM, THAT THEY ALLOWED THE PEOPLE TO CONTINUE TO LIVE IN THE HOMES UNTIL THEY COULD FIND A BUYER. JAMES AND MILDRED CONTINUED TO LIVE FOR OVER 3 YEARS, BUT EVENTUALLY THE TIME CAME FOR THEM TO MOVE OUT. JAMES STARTED TO SEARCH FOR ANOTHER JOB IN THE DENTAL LABORATORY BUSINESS, AND HE FOUND A POSITION IN PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA, WITH THE AMERICAN DENTAL LABORATORY. IT WAS A BEGINNING COMPANY, AND JAMES BECAME ITS MANAGER OF THE PLATE AND DENTURE DEPARTMENT AND ITS HEAD SET UP MAN. THEY MADE THE MOVE IN 1936-1937 AND MOVED TO CRAFTON . PENNSYLVANIA, A SUBURB OUTSIDE OF PITTSBURGH. IN 1939 THE FAMILY MOVED TO GREENTREE, PENNSYLVANIA, ANOTHER SUBURB OUTSIDE OF PITTSBURGH. WHEN THE FAMILY MADE THE MOVE, IT WAS ALWAYS ASSUMED THEY WOULD RETURN TO THEIR ROOTS IN KANSAS, MISSOURI, AND WITH EACH PASSING YEAR, THE PROMISE WOULD BE MADE NEXT YEAR. BUT WORLD WAR II ARRIVED AND THEN MOST PEOPLE WERE RESTRICTED TO THEIR AREAS OF LIFE AS GASOLINE AND OTHER MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION WERE GREATLY REDUCE. JAMES WAS TO YOUNG FOR WORLD WAR I AND TO OLD FOR WORLD WAR II, SO HE WAS ABLE TO MISS SERVICE IN BOTH WARS. IT WAS FINALLY DECIDED THAT THE MOVE BACK TO THE MID-WEST WOULD BE DONE UPON THE GRADUATION OF JAMES L. FROM HIGH SCHOOL, WHICH HE DID IN 1947, AND THE HOUSE WAS SOLD AND THE FAMILY MOVED BACK TO OZARK, MISSOURI, TO STAY TEMPORARILY AT MILDRED'S MOTHER'S HOUSE, UNTIL JAMES FOUND A DENTAL LABORATORY TO PURCHASE. THEY HAD MADE A SMALL PROFIT ON THE SELLING OF THE HOUSE IN GREENTREE AND JAMES AND MILDRED HAD DECIDED TO PLACE THIS MONEY IN THE PURCHASE OF THEIR OWN BUSINESS. JAMES L. ENTERED SOUTHERN METHODIST UNIVERSITY IN DALLAS, TEXAS, AND JAMES T. PURCHASED A DENTAL LABORATORY IN ENID, OKLAHOMA. IT WAS NAMED THE ENID DENTAL LABORATORY AND SERVICED ABOUT 30 DENTISTS IN THE ENID AREA OF WESTERN OKLAHOMA. ENID WAS ALSO ONLY ABOUT 90 MILES FROM JAMES OLDER BROTHER, ALBERT JOHN WORKMAN, LIVING IN GUTHRIE, OKLAHOMA, WHICH BROUGHT BACK SOME FAMILY CONNECTION LIFE. AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE OF THE ENID DENTAL LABORATORY, IT HAD BEEN IN A DOWNWARD TREND, DUE TO THE OWNERS' LACK OF DEDICATION TO THE BUSINESS. AND JAMES SPENT MANY HOURS AND TIRELESS WORK TO RESTORE THE BUSINESS REPUTATION AND INTEGRITY WITH THE LOCAL DENTISTS. HE SUCCEEDED WITH BOTH AND FOR THE NEXT 22 YEARS OPERATED A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS, UNTIL HIS RETIREMENT JUNE 25, 1969. HE WAS A MEMBER OF THE LIONS CLUB AND A MEMBER OF THE METHODIST CHURCH IN ENID. AFTER RETIREMENT JAMES AND MILDRED MOVED BACK TO OZARK, MISSOURI, WHERE THEY PURCHASED A HOUSE AT 713 NORTH 13TH STREET, AND THEY LIVED THERE THE REST OF THEIR LIVES. JAMES DIED MAY 12, 1979, AS A RESULT OF CANCER, AND MILDRED DIED APRIL 3, 1991, AS A RESULT OF CANCER. DURING THEIR RETIREMENT YEARS JAMES AND MILDRED DEVOTED MANY HOURS OF WORK TO THE OZARK METHODIST CHURCH. JAMES SERVED AS THE TREASURER FOR THE CHURCH FOR MANY YEARS.
