DORWORTH.—A brief item in last
week’s “Watchman” told of the death
at four o’clock on Thursday afternoon
of the venerable Dr. Edwin S. Dor-
worth, who passed away at his home
on east High street after a prolonged |
illness. He was stricken with paraly-
sis on April 13th, 1918, and never re-
covered therefrom.
Deceased was a son of Jonathan and
Henrietta K. Dorworth and was born
at Emanus, Lehigh county, on Febru-
ary 19th, 1834, hence had reached the
advanced age of 84 years, 8 months
and 19 days. When a young man he
taught school in Centre and adjoin-
ing counties and during one or two
years was identified with the teaching
staff of the Pine Grove Mills Acade-
my. Later he took a course at the
Iron City college, Pittsburgh, after
which he studied medicine at the Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania. He then lo-
cated in Howard for the practice of
his profession but later went to New
York where he took an advanced
course in medicine at the University
of New York. He located in Belle-
fonte in 1865, and at that time few of
the country roads were passable for a
vehicle all the year around and most
of his traveling was. done on horse-
back, with his saddlebags filled with
medicine. He speedily acquired a
large practice and traveled the sur-
rounding country for miles. In his
work he hearkened to the call of the
rich and poor alike and used his fund
of knowledge for the healing of the
sick and relief of the distressed
wherever the call came from and at
any hour day or night. He practiced
his profession even up to the day he
was stricken and was the oldest phy-
sician in Centre county.
For many years he was a member
of the Disciple church but later in life
transferred his membership to the
Presbyterian church, and always lived
an upright, christian life. He was
one of the oldest members of the
Bellefonte Lodge of Masons and a
man who not only commanded the re-
spect of all but who had a host of
friends in Bellefonte and throughout
Centre county.
He was united in marriage to Miss
Hannah Jenkins, a daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. William Rees Jenkins, who
survives with four children, namely:
Misses Elizabeth J. and Alice K. Dor-
worth, and Charles E. Dorworth, of
Bellefonte, and William J., of Balti-
more, Md.
Funeral services were held at his
late home on east High street at four
o'clock on Saturday afternoon by Dr.
W. K. McKinney, after which burial
was made in the Union cemetery.

selling notions ‘and linen and even
dress goods, and thereby not only sup-
ported himself but = accumulated
enough that had: he lived in an inca-
pacitated condition it would have kept
him for years. And he went about his
humble work uncomplainingly and
with a sublime faith that he was do-
ing the best he could with his life. He
was an ardent believer in the doctrine
of the Methodist church and never
lost an opportunity to attend divine
worship. He got out of his life all
that he was able to do and no one who

that he has gone to the reward he so
well merited. He was laid to rest on

Beaver, has frequently visited in
