Sts. a few afternoons ago. "That is H.G. Worthington, and few men in this world have had such a diversified life as he. He and Harry G. Dawes, of Massachusetts, who acted as Pallbearers at the funeral of Abraham Lincoln are the only survivors. That was on April 18, 1865. Worthington was then a Representative of Nevada, and this was by no means his first position in public life. He was a member of the California Legislature in 1851, and served together with the recently retired Justice Field. He was with Walker, the filibuster, in his expedition to Nicaragua, and barely escaped the fate that befell Walker and several thousand of his followers! "Worthington participated in the admission of three states. He is one of the few persons living, who stumped California for General G. Fremont. He was a great friend of Fremont and was his legal representative in setting up his Mariposa Estates, in California. He was sent by Nevada as her first Representative in Congress. Nye and Stewart came along as Senators at the same time. When Grant was in California, long before the War, he became associated with Worthington. The friendship that sprung up between them in the Golden State was seded by Grant's death. "President Johnson appointed Worthington to a South American mission. Later he was recalled, and Grant appointed him Collector of the port of Charleston, S.C. He is a native of South Carolina. The people of the Palmetto State sent him to Congress, too." "Worthington was in Ford's Theater the night that President Lincoln was shot, and he was a witness at the trials of the assassins. He had been with the President at the White House in the afternoon. He had much time in Washington, and it is always a rare treat to meet and converse with him." The names of the Pallbearers at President Lincoln's funeral, as givin in the Evening Start on April 18, 1865 were: Senate - Foster of Conn. Morgan of New York: Johnson of Maryland; Yates of Illinois; Wade of Ohio: Conners of California; House - Dawes of Mass: Coffroth of Pa.: Worthington of North Carolina. *********************************************************************************** Worthington Descendant Newsletter, Vol. 1, No. 2, Page 3.
