   WALTER S. WORTHINGTON merchant and postmaster, P.O. 
Neshaminy, is the descendant of old residents of the state.  
His father, Israel Worthington, was a resident of Doylestown 
township, where he owned a farm, on which he died in 1883, 
aged 62.  He was a man of quiet, retiring disposition, and a 
member of the Society of Friends.  His wife was Mary Leah 
Townsend. She died two years previously to her husband, at 
the age of 56 years.  She was a member of the Presbyterian 
church at Doylestown.  They had five children:  Edward, a 
merchant in Carversville, this county; Townsend, a miller at 
Edison, this county; Walson, deceased, also a miller; John, 
deceased; and Walter S., who was born May 3, 1855, in 
Doylestown township.  On leaving school he began clerking at 
Edison, staying there eight years, and in 1883 bought the 
store in Warrington Square, where he now is.  On February 
28, 1883, he married Lizzie D., daughter of David S. Fetter, 
of Northampton township, this county.  She was born August 
3, 1864, and to their union two children have been born:  
David F. and W. Raymond.  Mr. Worthington is an enterprising 
man, and is spoken of in the highest terms by his neighbors. 
 In politics he is a republican.
