| Benjamin F. Woolworth, Morley, harness maker, was born in St. Joseph, Co., Mich., Aug. 29, 1846. He is the son of Benjamin and Sarah Woolworth, the latter born in Pennsylvania, the former in New York. Mr. Woolworth was apprenticed in 1869, to learn the trade, which he is now pursuing. His engagement lasted three years, and he entered the employment of the L.S.& M.S.R.R. Co., and there continued eight years. In 1879 with the capital of $90, he established his present business at Morley, and now owns a fine stock of goods peculiar to his line of trade, and is free form debt. He was married at Elkhart, Ind., about 1873, to Lizzie Ross, whose parents were of Swiss nativity. Charles H. and Frederick B. are the names of their children. |
