Beriah Haworth Biographical Scetch
Beriah Haworth
resides on section 14, range 12, Elwood Township, Vermilion County, near
the place where he was born, Sept. 15, 1847. The father of Beriah was
named David, who is now deceased. Our subject was educated in
Vermilion Grove Seminary, and has always followed farming as his
occupation, and has lived in this township on his present farm as long
as he can remember.
Our subject was united in marriage with Miss Anna Lewis (Oct. 30,
1879), daughter of William Lewis (deceased) a pioneer of Crab Apple
Grove, just across the line in Edgar County, Ill., but has lived mostly
in this county. Three children have come to brighten the home of our
subject, named respectively: Carrie W., born Sept. 13, 1882, Homer,
Oct. 12, 1884; and Mary, Dec. 6, 1888. Mr. Haworth, owns a farm of
seventy-five acres of good land, and in connection with his agricultural
pursuits is engaged in stock-raising. His favorites are the Clydesdale
and Morgan horses, Short-born cattle and Poland-China Swine.
Our subject and his estimable wife are devoted members of the Quaker
Church. Mr. Haworth, politically, votes the straight Republican ticket,
but has carefully refrained, from the cares and responsibilities of the
office, preferring to give his time and attention to his faming
interests.
