KETCHAM, WORLEY

Daniel KETCHAM (deceased) was born near Shelbyville, Ky., in 1806.  His
father, Col. John KETCHAM moved to this State with his family when the same 
was a Territory, and settled near Brownstown, whence he removed to Jackson 
County, and in 1818 to Monroe County, and soon after to the farm on Clear 
Creek, now the home of his youngest son.  In 1836, our subject married
Mary WORLEY, by which union they had four children - Eliza A., John H.,
Francis William and Lizzie.  In 1852, Daniel KETCHAM moved with his family 
to Smithville, where he lived during his remainder of life.  Mr. KETCHAM was 
an affectionate husband, a kind parent, and an upright citizen.  For thirty-
five years, he was an honored member of the Methodist Episcopal Church in
which he held several offices of trust.  Religion sustained him at all
times, and most particularly in his closing hours.  When asked if willing to 
depart and if his trust was in Jesus, he answered affirmatively.  He left 
this world September 28, 1877, in perfect peace. September 13, 1862, Miss
Eliza A., eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. KETCHAM, departed this life, a
lovely and promising woman, whose loss is a lifelong lament.  Mrs. KETCHAM 
lives with her daughter, Lizzie KETCHAM, and her grandchild, Minnie, on the 
homestead.  Miss Lizzie is a gracious and amiable young lady, universally 
regarded with admiration and love.
