"The Telephone", Milton Junction, Wisconsin, Thursday, June 20, 1912, p 1.
Nathan Thomas Langworthy was born in Brookfield, N. Y., May 5, 1828, and died at his home in Milton Junction June 13, 1912, being a little over eighty-four years of age.
He was the son of Nathan Langworthy, a worthy farmer, and deacon of a Freewill Baptist church in the western part of the town of Brookfield, N. Y. The family to which he belonged was one that has long been known in that part of the country for piety, sturdy manhood, kindliness, and hospitality. When ten years old Thomas, as he has been called, gave his heart to Christ and was baptized, uniting with the church already mentioned, which contained both what are known as Seventh-day and First-day people. He was an observer of the Seventh-day Sabbath. He received an elementary education and worked as a farmer.
He was always fond of nature and tender in his susceptibilities. In 1857 he was married to Mary Ann Clarke, by the Rev. Joshua Clarke, her brother, then pastor of the Seventh-day Baptist church in Brookfield. Mr. and Mrs. Langworthy lived on a farm west of the village of Brookfield till they came to live in Wisconsin in 1866. During that time there were born to them four children: Alice M., who became Mrs. T. V. Kumlien, Frank T., who lived near Milton Junction, Angie M., who has always lived with her parents, and Cora M., who became Mrs. Elbert Maryott. The two younger daughters, with another daughter, Clara C., who was born in Wisconsin, are still living.
When Mr. Langworthy came to Wisconsin he settled on a farm near Albion, where the family lived till they moved to Milton Junction in 1900. While at Albion they were regular attendants at the Albion Seventh-day Baptist church, of which Mr. Langworthy was a generous and sympathetic supporter. He was a very tender hearted man, somewhat reticent about his personal religious feelings, very kind and possessed of many friends. He was uniformly hospitable and interested in the welfare of everyone. He was fond of flowers and domestic animals, and especially of children, who were always attracted to him.
He is survived by his widow, three children, fourteen grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren. After he sold the farm and moved to Milton Junction, he purchased a small tract of farm land, on which he labored industriously till about five years ago, when his health began to fail and his powers to wane. During the last two years before his death he was unable to take any active part in affairs, but was the recipient of loving and patient care, especially from his devoted wife and daughter Angie.
Funeral services were held at his late home in Milton Junction, June 15, 1912, conducted by President Daland of Milton College, assisted by the Rev. O. S. Mills. Interment was made in the village cemetery at Milton Junction.
Those from a distance who attended the funeral were: Miss Margaret Kumlien, Rockford, Ill.; Miss Ethel Kumlien, Appleton, Wis.; T. V. Kumlien and family and Chas Kumlien, wife and baby, Whitewater; Glen Maryott, Herbert Main, wife and daughter, and Sam Garthwaite and wife, Fort Atkinson; Elbert Maryott and daughter Viola, Beloit; J. L. Clarke and children, Afton; Lamont and Elmer Langworthy and Mrs. Geo. Vickers, Edgerton; Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Crandall, Mrs. Freeman Atwood and wife, Chas Williams and wife, and Nathan Kelley and wife, Albion, Wis.
