Papers from the Blandinsville-Raritan, Illinois area

MRS. WILLIS WORLEY

Stella Ann GREEN, daughter of Edward and Eliza Jane GREEN, was born in Sperry, Iowa, July 27, 1862; and passed away at her home in Blandinsville, March 1st, 1926, aged 63 years, 7 months and 2 days.

When about ten years of age she moved with her parents to Illinois and settled near Bedford church where she grew to womanhood.

On December 23rd, 1888 she was united in marriage to Willis E. WORLEY of Blandinsville. Three children were born to this union, all of whom, with their father survive her passing. They are Roy Edward of Fairfield, Iowa; Mrs. Mary Marguerite COOK of Raritan and Vivian Estelle at home.

Mrs. WORLEY has been afflicted with asthma for nearly 40 years and a few days ago seemed to contract a heavy cold which proved fatal.

In addition to the husband and children she leaves 3 grandchildren. Also 2 sisters, Mrs. O. W. HUSTON of Carthage, Ill., and Mrs. Mary HOCKMAN of Dallas City, Ill., and 3 brothers Richard GREEN of Dubois, Wyoming, Edward GREEN of Colfax, Washington and James GREEN of Mazie, Oklahoma.

Since coming to Illinois with her parents as a child Mrs. WORLEY has lived all of her life near Blandinsville with the exception of 6 years when with her husband and family she lived near Fairfield, Iowa. Three years ago they moved to Blandinsville their present home.

Early in life Mrs. WORLEY united with the Raritan Christian church and two years ago last November took membership with the Blandinsville Christian church. She has not been able to attend services on account of her affliction. She was truly a good woman, a loving wife and an affectionate mother. She will be sadly missed in the home where she was confined so long with her affliction.
