PAGE 601 ZIMRY WORLEY, eldest child of Henry and Nancy (Pansy) Worley, was born August 23, 1803, in North Carolina, where he lived until two years of age. His parents then brought him to Highland County, Ohio, when they lived until 1819, removing thence to Monroe County, Ind., and settling in Bloomington. Shortly after their arrival here, his step-father died, and being the eldest son, upon him devolved the duty of supporting the family. He rented a small farm near Bloomington, and remained there for two years, removing thence to a farm known now as the old McKinley place, which he leased and farmed until April 13, 1826, when he was married to Sallie Legg, daughter of Jonathan Legg, an early pioneer of Bloomington. After his marriage, he worked at various things, such as necessarily fall to the lot of early settlers, for several years. He then purchased a farm of sixty acres, where he lived for sixteen years; then, selling his farm, he moved to Bloomington, and built what is now the National House, which he conducted for seventeen years. He traded it for other town property, and retired from active labor, at present residing in Bloomington, hale, hearty, and eighty-one years of age, the oldest living settler in the city. He has been the recipient of no gratuities, and it is only to his energy and industry that he has obtained a competency of this world's goods, and is now comfortably resting during his declining years. He has been a stanch member of the Methodist Episcopal Church for more than fifty-four years, and was an old-time Whig. His wife was born near Shelbyville, Ky., on December 11, 1805. Her parents moved to Bloomington in October, 1824, where they resided for about twenty-six years, removing thence to Illinois, where they died, the father at the advanced age of ninety-eight years, the mother at ninety years of age. Mr. Worley has eight children--George Henry, Jane, Margaret, Elsberry, Eli F., Harvey, James C. and an infant. PAGE 601 JAMES C. WORLEY, native of Indiana, was born November 6, 1838, in Richland Township, Monroe County. He is the youngest son of eight children born to Zimry and Sallie (Legg) Worley, natives of South Carolina and Kentucky respectively. He was reared in his native township until eight years of age, when he came to Bloomington with his parents, where he received a good English education in the public schools, and in 1852 he entered the State University, continuing for two years and a half. In February, 1862, he was married to Sarah McCollough, daughter of Johnson and Rebecca McCollough, early settlers of Monroe County. After his marriage, he embarked in the livery business here, and continued until 1865, when he sold out, and the same year went into the same business again, continuing until March, 1877, when he sold out and went into the grocery business, continuing one year, when he again embarked in the livery business. In 1879, John T. May purchased one-half interest, and the business was continued under the firm name of Worley & May until January 1, 1884, when he sold to John H. Cole, and has since been engaged in buying, selling and trading in horses. He has three children--Edith, Alice and an infant child. Mr. Worley is a Republican, and is quite prominent with his party. ______________________________ Date: Sat, 15 Nov 1997 16:46:34 -0500 (EST) From: RPhill1715@aol.com Subject: KY-F: OBIT: Baker, 1837 - Bracken Co This is the obituary of Capt. Isaac B. Baker as it appeared in the Plattsburg Leader during the week of Feb. 11, 1929. The spelling and puncuation are as they appeared in the original newspaper article. _____________________ DEATH OF CAPT. I. B. BAKER ________ Was the Last Surviving Clinton County Ex-Confederate Soldier. ________ Capt. I. B. Baker, one of the oldest and most highly respected residents of Clinton county, died early Sunday morning at his home in Plattsburg. Capt. Baker had been in very poor health for several months. Capt. Baker came with his parents to Missouri from Kentucky when he was about twelve years old. He attended the old log school house on the Winn farm, which will be remembered by the old settlers as one of the early day schools of the county. Capt. Baker also attend school at Weston and at Pleasant Ridge college three years. Capt. Baker's farm upon which he lived nearly half a century is just west of Grayson. He was a progressive farmer and stock grower, a kind neighbor, and community upbuilder during all these years. The interest and the activity of the Baker family made possible the securing of the Rock Island Railroad through Plattsburg and Grayson to Leavenworth. This was for some time the road's main line between Chicago and the Missouri River. Thru Pullman trains used to be run over this line between Chicago and Leavenworth and on west. After the growth of Kansas City became so much more rapid than Leavenworth, the railroad company routed it's thru trains over the Burlington from Cameron Junction into Kansas City, and the Grayson line was made a branch. Capt. Baker was one of the first Clinton county young men to enter the Confederate army, and was the last surviving member of the group. He entered the Confederate army in June, 1861,at the age of twenty four years. James Clay raised the company of about seventy men, and they were drilled on the ridge south of the old Clay farm home, as Mr. Clay was living on the farm at that time. Darius Bainbridge was chosen captain of the company and they went to the battle of Carthage the fourth of July, 1861, and to the battle of Wilson's creek, where Capt. Bainbridge was killed. Mr Baker went on with Price's army into southern Missouri and into Arkansas. He came home in the spring of 1862 and took his father to Kentucky and joined the company at Clarksville, Tenn, under Capt. Paige. He was chosen captain of the company in the summer of 1862, and continued in that company until the close of the war. Capt. Baker and his company were with Gen. Johnston, who surrendered his division April 26, 1865. General Lee's surrender was on the 9th of the month. The funeral which was a largely attended one, was held at the Plattsburg Christian Church Monday afternoon, at two o'clock, and burial was in the Grayson cemetary. The funeral was conducted by the pastor of the church, Rev. Vere H. Rogers. The H-RCA men's quartet, composed of Supt. Allison, Rev. Rogers, J. W. Holmes and R. C. Cook, sang at the service. The following obituary sketch was read at the funeral service. Capt. Isaac B. Baker, the highly respected and useful citizen, in whose memory this service is held, was a son of Isaac and Elizabeth Baker, very early pioneer settlers in the Grayson community, of Clinton county. They were the parents of twelve children who lived to manhood and womanhood. Of these twelve children, only one now remains, Jesse Baker, of Grayson. Capt. I. B. Baker was born December 28, 1837, at Augusta, Ky, and was therefore past 91 years old at the time of his death, which occurred Sunday morning, February 10, 1929, at his home in Plattsburg, following a long illness of rheumatism and old age infirmaries. Early in the Civil War Mr. Baker entered the Confederate army, and served with distinction, being promoted to the rank of Captain, and not only by will of his superior officers, but the unanimous vote of the other members of the company, when a vacancy occurred in that office. Capt. Baker was the last surviving Ex-Confederate soldier in Clinton county. Capt. Baker was united in marriage Feb. 22, 1866, to Miss Frances D. Stoutimore, daughter of Josiah and Amanda Stoutimore, also pioneer residents of Clinton county. The marriage took place shortly after Capt. Baker's return from his army service, at the Stoutimore farm home, five miles south of Plattsburg. Capt. and Mrs. Baker had a most happy married life of nearly sixty-two years, terminated by her death which took place May 11, 1927. To this husband and wife there were born three children: J. D. Baker, of Plattsburg with whom he had made his home for some time; Rosa Lee who died in early childhood; and Mrs. Myrtle Grayson, who died about nine years ago, who is survived by one son, John C. Grayson, of Phoenix, Ariz. Mrs. Baker also lived to advanced age, and was 81 years, 7 months and 20 days old at the time of her death. After their marriage Capt. and Mrs. Baker went to housekeeping on their farm, and lived there until about fourteen years ago, when because of advancing age and failing health they moved to Plattsburg. Shortly before Mrs. Baker's death they left their home in Plattsburg and went to live with Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Baker, at Grayson, where Mrs. Baker's death occurred. Capt. Baker, after the death of his wife, continued to live there with Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Baker, until about a year ago the three came back to the Baker home in Plattsburg, where his last months were made happy ones by the tender care of his son and daughter in law, and the kindly visits of many friends. The home of Capt. and Mrs. Baker on their farm near Grayson, was one of the landmarks of that part of the county. It was built in 1867, shortly after their marriage. The lumber and material for erection of the house Capt. Baker hauled with wagon and team all the way from Lathrop, and the highways were not the broad and well graded ones of today. With such handicaps the citizens of that pioneer day built up this county and made possible the many advantages of this present generation. This pioneer farm home, which had been the center of so large a portion of the hospitality and social life of the county, burned about a year ago. Since early life Capt. Baker had been a member of the Christian church. He and Mrs. Baker were Charter members of the Christian church at Grayson, and Capt. Baker was the last surviving charter member of that congregation. Their earnest interest in the church, and education, and worthy ideals everywhere, is well known by all who were acquainted with them. They were active and efficient leaders in the work of the church, and liberal supporters of the church, and missions and education and benevolences with their financial blessings. In their home the preacher was always welcome, and often went away with gifts more substantial than mere words. The lives of Capt. and Mrs. Baker, and their daughter, Mrs. Grayson, and son J. D. Baker and his wife, have had much to do with the developmentof religion, education, good roads, industrial advance, and every worthwhile activity of Clinton county. Capt. Baker's life was a long one; it was also a most useful one. Many are the lives that are better and nobler because of the fellowship with him. Through such lives come the progress and betterment of the world. The body at the close of this service we tenderly will place beside that of his wife in the beautiful cemetary near his former home at Grayson. The spirit has already returned to the God who gave it, whose he was, and whom he served so long and faithfully. _____________________ ****************************** USGENWEB NOTICE: In keeping with our policy of providing free genelaogical information on the Internet, data may be freely used for personal research and by non-commercial entities as long as this message remains on all copied material.
