General Notes: Husband - William Worrell

---

He remained on his father's farm till he reached his seventeenth year, when he came to Bridgeport, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, where he entered the store of William Graham, and where he remained as manager for him up to Mr. Graham's death. After this, Mr. Worrell became his administrator and guardian of the children, and continued also to manage the business for Mrs. Graham up to 1865, at which time he purchased from Mrs. Graham the building and stock. Shortly afterwards the store was destroyed by fire. In 1871 he rebuilt and stocked it completely and remained in the dry-goods business up to his own death.
He held several town offices of importance. He served in the office of treasurer and was elected tax collector in 1865, at a time when it was quite difficult to collect the war tax. He was an adherent of the Methodist church, of which he was a trustee and was the main factor, with a few others, in the erection of the Second M. E. church of Bridgeport; he was a very active and energetic member of the building committee. In politics he was a Republican.
