• Notes

  Research and source notes: Deborah Sweet - 1) It is possible that he was married twice and that the first marriage produced the son who predeceased him. Idon't know this for sure. The son could be of his marriage to Mary (Vonah) Collier (her 2nd). 2) Obit - Unknown newspaper, undated- New Lisbon - Death ofLifelong Resident The death of Charles M. Southworth, one of the best known and highly esteemed residents of this place, occurred at his home Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Although he had been in failing health for a long timewith heart trouble and complications, his last illness was of about three weeks duration. - He was born in the town of New Lisbon July 22, 1868, a son of Robert E. (paper says 'E', someone has written an 'S' over it in error) andAmanda (Garlick) Southworth. For fifty or more years he has lived at the place where he died, and conducted a blacksmith shop. A man of sterling integrity, always ready and willing to help where his services were needed, he will be missed not only in his home circle but in the community where he has so long resided, and where he has served the public for so many years. On Sept. 12,1904, he was united in marriage with Mary Vonah Collier, who survives him and who with her son, Lewis Collier, have so tenderly and devotedly cared for him. Beside his wife and step-son above mentioned, he leaves a brother, Clesson P. Southworth, of South New Berlin; a niece, Mrs. Levi George, of New Lisbon, and one nephew, Claude R. Southworth, of Yardley, Pa. and several cousins. The funeral was largely attended at his late home Saturday afternoon at 2o'clock. Rev. E. K. Hutchinson, rector of Zion Church at Morris, of which thedeceased was a member, officiated. Interment was beside his son and parentsin the old church cemetery at Morris. The bearers were, Erle Smith, Frank Duroe, Ernest Thurston and George Rice. The florel tributes given by the church,family and friends were beautiful and bore evidence of the esteem in which the deceased was held. A multitude of friends unite with the family in mourning his demise. NOTE: as I do not have a complete genealogy as yet, I do not know whose children Mrs. Levi George and Claude R. Southworth are.
