11. Documentation for Lucy Jane Harmison
(April 1851 to 30 January 1908)
mother of Ethel Leona Worth
(08 January 1893 to 26 December 1976)
Lucy Jane Harmison was born in April 1851 in the state of Indiana.(1) Her
parents were Isaiah Harmeson and Melissa Perkins.(2) They probably married about
1848.(3) Isaiah Harmeson was born May 13, 1825, in Belmont County, Ohio, and died
December 9, 1887, in Casey, Clark County, Illinois.(4) Melissa Perkins, the mother of
Lucy Jane Harmison, was born either December 15, 1829, or January 23, 1830, in
Indiana.(5) Melissa (Perkins) Harmeson died June 23, 1891, in Casey, Illinois.(6) Both
Isaiah and Melissa Harmeson are buried in the Macedonia Cemetery in Casey, Clark
County, Illinois.(7).
Isaiah Harmeson, his wife, Melissa, and their first two children, Enos and
Camilla, are listed in the 1850 U. S. Census for Indiana, Madison County, Anderson
Township, page 97.(8) According to the 1860 U. S. Census for Illinois, Champaign
County, Township 19 N Ranges 11 E and 14 W, enumerated August 20th, Isaiah
Harmeson, his wife Melissa, and six children, were living in Champaign County,
Illinois. Lucy J. Harmeson, is listed in the 1860 census as age 7 and born in Illinois.(9) At
the time of the 1870 U. S. Census for Illinois, Champaign County, Lucy Jane Harmeson
is not listed as living in the household of Isaiah and Melissa Harmeson.(10)
Lucy Jane Harmison married Chesterfield Worth.(11) Chesterfield was the son of
John Worth and Julia Ann Drysdale.(12) Chesterfield was a descendant of John
Howland and Elizabeth Tilley, passengers on the ship Mayflower that landed at what
became Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1620.(13)
The date of marriage for Chesterfield Worth and Lucy Jane Harmison is not
known. A marriage record for Lucy Harmison and Doctor Dillon was found in
Danville, Vermilion County, Illinois, with a September 8, 1872, marriage date.(14) The
first child of Chesterfield and Lucy Worth, Elizabeth A. Worth, probably was born in
1873.(15) Isaphine Worth, a daughter of Chesterfield and Lucy Jane (Harmison) Worth,
gave her father's name as "Dock Worth" on her marriage license application in Terre
Haute, Indiana.(16)
The U. S. Census for Illinois, 1880, Vermilion County, Oakwood Township,
enumerated June 28, lists Lucy Jane Worth, age 27, living in a household with
Chesterfield Worth and their two children, Elizabeth A. and Jesse Worth.(17)
Lucy Jane Harmison and Chesterfield Worth were the parents of seven children:
Elizabeth Ann, Jesse, Clara Belle, Mellisa (Melessia M.), Margaret, Isaphine, and Ethel
Leona Worth.(18) Annie Worth (Elizabeth A. Worth) died at age 18. She was buried at
Highland Lawn Cemetery in Terre Haute, Indiana, on September 23, 1891.(19)
Chesterfield Worth apparently died in 1892 at Terre Haute, Indiana, probably
sometime after March of that year. The 1892 Terre Haute City Directory lists Lucy
Worth as the widow of Chesterfield.(20) Ethel Leona Worth, the youngest child of
Chesterfield and Lucy Worth, was born January 8, 1893, in Terre Haute, Indiana.(21)
Both the death certificate and the Social Security application form of Ethel Leona
(Worth) Older show that her father was Chesterfield Worth and that her mother was
Lucy Jane Harmison. No will or estate papers have been found for Chesterfield Worth
nor is it known where he is buried.
Lucy Jane Harmison, the only wife of Chesterfield Worth, married for a second
time on June 9, 1896, in Terre Haute, Indiana. Lucy married Jesse Lewellen.(22) Jesse
was the widower of Elizabeth Worth, a sister of Chesterfield Worth.(23)
Jesse Lewellen and Elizabeth Worth were married in Montgomery County,
Indiana, on November 17, 1864.(24) The 1896 Vigo County marriage record for Lucy
Jane Harmison Worth proves that Jesse Lewellen was the same man who married
Elizabeth A. Worth in 1864 in Montgomery County, Indiana. A number of census
records connect various members of the Worth and Lewellen families with
Shannandale, Montgomery County, Indiana. Elizabeth (Worth) Lewellen died
sometime after March 25, 1888, and before June 1896.(25)
There is no reason to doubt Jesse Lewellen and Lucy Jane (Harmison) Worth
knew each other many years before they married in 1896. Chesterfield and Lucy Jane
Worth named their first son and first daughter after Jesse and Elizabeth Lewellen.(26)
Lucy Jane (Harmison) (Worth) Lewellen died January 30, 1908, in Terre Haute,
Indiana.(27) Because she was impoverished, she was given a county burial at Highland
Lawn Cemetery in Terre Haute, Indiana. Her grave has no tombstone.(28)
The following list provides information about the seven children of Chesterfield
Worth and Lucy Jane Harmison:
1) Elizabeth Ann Worth was born in 1873 and died at age 18. According to records
at Highland Lawn Cemetery in Terre Haute, Indiana, she was buried September 23,
1891. She has no tombstone because she was impoverished and received a county
burial. Elizabeth was named after Chesterfield Worth's sister who married Jesse
Lewellen in 1864 in Montgomery County, Indiana.(29)
2) Jesse Worth was born in February 1876 in Vermilion County, Illinois. The U. S.
Census for Illinois, 1880, Vermilion County, Oakwood Township, lists Jesse in the
Chesterfield and Lucy Jane Worth household, as age 4, born in Illinois, father born in
Indiana, mother born in Indiana. The U. S. Census for Indiana, 1900, Vigo County, Jesse
Lewellen household, lists Jessie Worth as born February 1876, age 24, born in Illinois,
father born in Indiana, mother born in Indiana.(30)
The 1894 Terre Haute City Directory lists Jesse Worth as a laborer at the J. Hanley
Mfg. Co. with residence at 22 Chesnut. The 1896 Terre Haute City Directory lists Jesse
Worth as a tobacco maker at Fred J. Biel and a residence at 426 S. Water.(31)
Jesse Worth married Ida M. Luther in Terre Haute, Indiana, on August 10,
1901.(32) He committed suicide in 1923 and is buried in Terre Haute.(33)
Clara Belle Worth was born May 2, 1878, in Illinois. She married William H.
Duke.(34) Clara Belle died January 11, 1967, in Long Beach, California.(35) She was
buried in Roosevelt Memorial Park, Long Beach. Aunt Clara helped raise Ethel Leona
Worth after the death of Chesterfield.(36)
4) Mellisa (Melessia M.) Worth married Cuby V. Hutchings on April 11, 1898.(37)
5) Margaret Worth died in Norwalk, California. She married first: Weisenberg;
second: Riley. Bruce Weisenberg, a son, changed his name to Worth during World War
II. Bruce Weisenberg had two daughters. His last known address was in Simi Valley,
California.(38)
6) Isaphine Worth was born in January 1885. She first married Herbert Kiefner on
July 29, 1903.(39) She later married a man with a last name of Strandtman in Houston,
Texas. Helen Strandtman, a daughter, lived in Houston.(40)
7) Ethel Leona Worth was born January 8, 1893, in Terre Haute, Indiana.(41) She
married Roy Burton Older, March 1, 1911, in Decatur, Illinois.(42) Roy and Ethel were
the parents of Truxton James, Wilma Jane, and Robert Burton Older.(43) Ethel Leona
(Worth) Older died at Community Memorial Hospital in Ventura, Ventura County,
California, December 26, 1976, at age 83.(44) She is buried next to her husband at
Springhill Cemetery in Danville, Illinois.(45)
The U. S. Census for Indiana, 1900, Vigo County, Harrison Township,
enumerated June 12, lists Lucy J. Lewellen as being born in April 1851 in Indiana. Her
age is given as 49. The census indicates her father was born in Indiana, her mother was
born in Ohio, and that Lucy was the mother of seven children, six of whom were living
on June 12, 1900.(46)
Pictures of Lucy Jane (Harmison) Worth and the brothers and sisters of Ethel
Leona Worth, excepting Melissa Worth, are in the possession of Curtis Lynn Older.
Curtis is a grandson of Ethel L. (Worth) Older. He obtained the pictures from Wilma
Jane (Older) Zillman, a daughter of Ethel L. (Worth) Older.

ORIGINAL SOURCE MATERIAL to support the RELATIONSHIP between
LUCY JANE HARMISON and her daughter ETHEL LEONA WORTH
1) Death certificate for Ethel Leona Older State of California Certification of Vital
Record, Ventura County, local registration district 5600, certificate number 2405, date of
death 26 December 1975, date of birth 08 January 1893, informant Mrs. Wilma Zillman,
a sister of Truxton J. Older. Chesterfield Worth appears as the father and Lucy Jane
Harmeson as the mother.
2) Obituary for Ethel Older in the Danville Commercial News dated approximately
27 or 28 December 1976 which lists Chesterfield Worth and Lucy Jane Harmeson Worth
as her parents. There may be an obituary in a Ventura, California, newspaper as well.
3) Social Security application form of Ethel Leona Worth, SSN #562-21-4615, also
listed under Roy Burton Older SSN #329-09-0236, applied for at Ventura, California,
which lists her father as Chesterfield Worth and her mother as Lucy Jane Harmeson.
4) 1892 Terre Haute (Indiana) City Directory, "Worth, Lucy (wid Chesterfield),
lab, res 214 S 1st". Lucy also is listed as a widow of Chesterfield in the 1894 Terre Haute
City Directory, residing at 22 Chesnut, and in the 1896 Terre Haute (Indiana) City
Directory, residing at 426 S. Water.
5) State of Indiana, Vigo Co., Marriages 1880 - 1920, R-Z, p. 190, Sup. Mt. v. 19,
Clara Belle Worth, Isaphine Worth, Jessie Worth, and Malessia M. Worth. Name of
bride - Isaphine Worth, name of father - Dock Worth, mother’s maiden name - Lucy
Harmeson, female, white, age next birthday - 19, date of marriage - July 29, 1903, Book
7, p. 42. The marriage record of Isaphine Worth substantiates that Chesterfield Worth
also was known as "Doc" [Dock} [Doctor] Worth. This supports the marriage license in
Danville, Vermilion County, Illinois, that was for Doctor Dillon and Lucy Harmison.
Doctor Dillon must have been Chesterfield Worth. Chesterfield Worth could not read or
write at the time he married. He signed his marriage record with an “X” on page two.

6) Pictures of Lucy Jane Harmison and the brothers and sisters of Ethel Leona
Worth which include inscriptions on the back side consisting of “My darling mother”,
“my mother”, “My sister”, “William H. Duke Terre Haute, Ind. When he and sister
Clara first met. When I was 12 years old”, “Isa”, “Clara Worth Age 18”, “Sister Anna”,
and “Uncle Herbert”. Copies of these pictures were made by Curtis L. Older and are
included in his genealogical records related to Ethel Leona Worth and Chesterfield
Worth. The pictures were originally in the possession of Wilma Jane Older Zillman after
her mother, Ethel Leona Worth, died.
7) U. S. Census of Illinois, 1880, Vermilion Co., Chesterfield Worth, age 29, born
in Indiana, Lucy Jane Worth, age 27, born in Indiana, Elizabeth Worth age 7 daughter,

8) Ethel L. Worth is listed as a step-daughter by Jessie Lewellen in the 1900
Indiana census. Jessie Lewellen married Lucy Jane Harmison Worth in 1896. Jesse had
previously married Elizabeth Worth, a sister of Chesterfield. Apparently Elizabeth
Worth Lewellen died between 1888 and 1896. Chesterfield and Lucy Jane named their
first son Jessie and their first daughter Elizabeth after Jessie Lewellen and Elizabeth
Worth Lewellen. 1900 U. S. Census for Indiana, Vigo County, Harrison Township, Terre
