Hi,

My name is Rosemary Merit. I am the daughter of Elizabeth Worthington Powell. She is the sister of Monroe, Josephine, and Kathryn Worthington. They were the children of Willits Reeve Worthington and Mary Elizabeth Traver Worthington.

Please let Max know that my Mom says his Dad’s name was Willets Monroe Worthington. He was named after his Dad (Willets Reeve Worthington) and his Maternal Grandfather (Monroe Traver). He was probably always called Monroe since he and his Dad had the same first name. My Mom said that Monroe did not like his first name so he never used it.

Elizabeth is the only living sibling of the four children. She is 87 years old and lives with us in Blair, Nebraska.

The comment on 6/15, 2009 from Claude E. Worthington, III was interesting. My Mom’s sister, Josephine Worthington Damewood has a son who is still living and named Claude. Who was Claude III’s Dad and Grandfather?, asked my Mom.

Max’s son, Eric, has spent lots of time gathering together information about the family. We’ve been able to spend short spurts of time with him over the years and we definitely e-mail back and forth.

Keep having fun!

Rosemary
