In the 14 Nov 1919 Decatur Review, p 8: "James A Worsham, mayor of Maroa, will speak at Second Presbyterian church Sunday evening on "Men and Religion" under the auspices of the Men's Bible class of which J O Engleman is teacher. Mr Worsham has had an unusual opportunity to study men from two angles. For ten years he was connected with a large coal mine and worked his way up to general manager. For five and a half years he has been general manager of the Maroa manufacturing company. In all his experience he has never had a strike and has kept the closest touch with the men employed. His experience in coal mine was also an experiment in the influence of Christianity on men and on the community.... Mr Worsham is convinced that religion pays in every way and that industrial problems cannot be solved apart from it..."

1.5.4.3.2.2.2. Richard Worsham b. Sep 15, 1806. In the book of Cemetery Records of Pike Co., MO by Pike Co. DAR, page 148, is James H. Worsham, Died Jan. 6, 1877, Aged 16 yrs., 7 days which would have him born 30 Dec 1860. His death has been confirmed by Portrait & Biographical Record of Marion, Ralls and Pike Counties, Missouri and we believe the age at death should have read "46 yrs, 7 days." James is buried next to Richard Worsham, born Sept. 15, 1806-Died 11, 1883 & Mary, Wife of Richard Worsham, Died April 6, 1878, Aged 53 yrs. For this reason, we believe James H.

James Frank is a son of James Worsham & Nancy Jane Triplett according to John Helenthal. James Frank Worsham was in par. 1.5.4.3.2.2.2A.3A.1 on page 387 as a s/o Thomas George Worsham & Nancy Margaret Ashbaugh. We believe he is s/o James H. & Nancy Jane Triplett. He appears to be the James F. age 5 in the 1870 Census with James H. & Nancy Jane and the James F. mentioned in the History of Nancy Jane Triplett above. He is age 16 & living with his mother, Nancy J. in the 1880 Calumet, Pike Co., MO Census. In the 1910 Census, Amos L. Worsham is living with James Frank Worsham, a cousin. Amos Worsham is s/o John Luke who is s/o Richard Worsham was living with Nancy Jane in the 1900 Pike Co., MO Census and is listed as her nephew. Amos Worsham is listed as a cousin to James Frank Worsham, therefore, it is reasonable that James Frank is the s/o Nancy Jane.
Dennis and Bev Stobie, 2004, found in the Ellis Library at the University of Missouri in Columbia, The Clarksville Banner, Apr 14, 1905: "While Mrs. Frank Worsham was away from home last Sunday the men folks wanting to surprise her attempted to cook dinner. The surprise was complete. The house and contents almost entirely destroyed. Loss about $1200 or $1500 dollars, insurance $800. The dinner was well done.
In the 1920 Census, Amos Worsham is living with Frank Worsham, a cousin. James Frank Worsham md Nettie S. b Oct 1869. (5-1870; 45-1920) They are in the 1900 Pike Co., MO, ED 85, St 2.

Misleading, is the cemetery record of Pike Co., MO where John H. Worsham is listed as born 21 Oct 1864 but he is age 4 on the 1870 Census. He may have been born in 1865 instead of 1864.

War Soldiers,
1861-1865, he is listed as John L. Washam & John L. Worsham. John enlisted in the
Union Army in the Missouri 49th Regiment, Missouri Infantry, Company D as a Private.
There were 2 Civil War CDV's posted on Ebay in 2007. The one labeled J. L. Worsham is John Luke Worsham. The woman in the second picture, labeled S. Worsham, may be John's sister, Sarah Elizabeth Worsham. They were advertised as:
"... a husband and wife but are a bit more unusual than most. You can see the soldier sitting down with a bit of a flag in the picture as well as a sleeve from a dress under the flag. The CDV of his wife shows her holding a flag and the same dress sleeve is on her dress. When you hold the 2 together just right you can see that these two were together when their photo's were taken. The photographer probably took their photo together then made copies of their photos separate. The back of the woman's CDV says 'S. Worsham - Clarksville, Mo' and the back of the soldier's CDV says 'J. L. Worsham Co. H 49th Mo Inft. Clarksville, Mo' Here are J. L. Worsham's stats: John L. Worsham Residence was not listed; Enlisted as a Private (date unknown). He also had service in: "H" Co. MO 49th Infantry Sources used by Historical Data Systems, Inc."

Informant Teague Worsham, Clarksville Bur Corinth Cemetery. (Missouri State Board of Health Bureau of Vital Statistics Certificate of Death No. 39782) In 2004, Dennis Stobie found in the Ellis Library at the University of Missouri in Columbia, in the Clarksville Banner, Aug 18, 1905, a letter to the Banner from Luke Worsham. It was quite long and included:
"We are in Roger Mills County on the North fork of the Red River where we claimed 160 acres of fine land... Can see for 40 miles... Can stand at our front door and see 200 houses and more going up...
Your as ever,
John L and Margaret Worsham"
He commented in the letter that he would never return to Missouri to live and told about the fine crops he was able to grow.
