William, A Family Story -
(Email from Mike, ID0452, 7 May 2013) ". . . William A. Worthen, according to my mother, was nicknamed "Pony Billy" because he was maybe the last person in Hartford City to drive a horse and buggy. I don't think it was a term of endearment! Something in my back yard of my memory tells me that the city passed an ordinance prohibiting domestic animals within the city limits and that's why he had to give it up. I'm not sure if his wife drove or not, but I'm fairly certain that Mother said he never drove a car." |

Story: Worthen
Grandparents by
Norma Haas Robbins, ID0006, 7 June 2001 (William Alfred and
Della Worthen) -
S1006, I saw this old house With weathered walls of grey, My Gandparents house, Was just this way, Many a Happy day. In that old house, With love and happiness, The horse and buggy, The old straw mattress on a high metal bed. Grapes on the arbor, Friends across the fence, I often have dreams of the happy days there. My grandparents lived in Hartford City Indiana, in a little grey house. My three sisters and I would spend our summers there. We had many friends and a loving Grandmother & Grandfather. My Grandmother would start out for the little corner store-it would be noon before we got back with our breakfast cereal. She knew everyone and would stop and talk to all of them. We thought we would starve. We would go to town in the horse & buggy every Saturday night. In those days Hartford City, like all other towns, was really bustling with people. I sure miss those Good Old Days. One night we were getting ready to go to town- Grandpa was working with his horse-l did something (l don't remember what now) and the horse bit him. He never did know what happened, probably a good thing too. We are grandparents now, and enjoy all our grandchildren & great grandchildren. No horse & buggy, back fence or straw mattress but lots of other memories for them. We're in our 80's now and so many changes have been made-love and good memories still remain with me. Thank You Mrs Norma Haas Robbins 8400 W 400 S Yorktown IN 47396 765-759-9331 Email-quiltlover 1949@cs.com |

[1] This headstone is located in Lot 527 of the IOOF/ Hartford City, Blackford County, Indiana Cemetery. It is acknowledged that it was carved by August Haas (The daughters agreed that he had carved it). What is not certain is just who the stone was originally carved for. It was always assumed it was for Mattie Klinger Worthen since it is in her burial plot. Grandson of August, ID0452, remembers seeing this stone at the E. 17th St. house when he was a young boy and thought that someone was buried there. Now it is in the IOOF Cemetery. When it was moved and by whom is a mystery. Is it possible that August actually carved this stone for HIS mother, Caroline Whetstone Haas, who died in 1928? This makes a lot more sense because August would not have known Mattie since she died in 1910 before he had met Mabel. |
