Second wife of Elijah Woodworth. Sister to his first wife, Edna Ferris.

Birth date of 1819 is used here; various census records and other family lineages posted by others give the birth year variously as anywhere from 1818 to 1822. I believe that 1819 is the most likely, but it is open to suggestions. Rounding of years in census reports may well account for the various years given. (Update: the headstone appears to give the age at death as 72 years in 1893, which would give the birth year at approx. 1821.) (For now I'll still keep 1819, but it is hard to argue with a cemetery monument). Sigh. What matters is that she lived and died and led a good life.

Buried according to cemetery locator map in C04-116; shares monument with Elijah Woodworth and Edna Woodworth.

Thanks to Larry and Phyllis Willis for the headstone photos.
