  • Robert Bell and Lucy Zell Woodworth : Antecedents and Progeny, Facts and Anecdotes
    Robert Bell and Lucy Zell Woodworth : Antecedents and Progeny, Facts and Anecdotes Woodworth, John Bell HÍT^ FOREWORD People will not look forward to Posterity, who never look backward to Their Ancestry - Edmund Burke. I have reached the age when I sympathize more fully than ever with the writer of Ecclesiastes when he says, "There is no man that hath power over the spirit, to retain the spirit, neither hath he power over the day of death. All things r:ome alike to all; there is one event to the righteous, and to the wicked. For to him that is joined with all the living there is hope; for a living dog is better than a dead lion." In this vein, I feel compelled to gather together in an orderly fashion such information about our family as I can glean from recollection; from those living who know somewhat; from books that may fall under my scrutiny; but mainly from the voluminous notes of my beloved, scholarly, precise father, Dr. Robert Bell Woodworth, who could have done this job so much better than I. I remember once chiding "Dad", when he was spending so much time on other .peoples' genealogies, to "Leave hoary old myths and interminable genealogies alone." It is with reluctance, therefore, that I assume this task, but feel that I would like to honor the memory of those who have gone on before, who were like as we are, some good, some bad, none perfect I am sure, but each in his own time had joys, sorrows, pain, pleasure, successes and failures.

  • West Virginia's Governors
    WEST VIRGINIA’S GOVERNORS The state of West Virginia has a rich history, which includes those elected to lead it. From Arthur I. Boreman, the first governor of West Virginia, to Cecil Harland Underwood, who was elected as the state’s youngest governor and again 40 years later as its oldest governor, these individuals have helped mold our wonderful state into what it is today. It is a great privilege to be a part of this group. As the 36th governor of the great state of West Virginia, I am proud to have been given the opportunity to serve the wonderful people who call the Mountain State home. I appreciate the hard work and dedication of those who have served this office. Like those before me, I am committed to building upon their efforts and making this state a great place to live and work for current and future generations of West Virginians. GOVERNOR JIM JUSTICE WEST VIRGINIA’S GOVERNORS West Virginia, the only state born of the Civil War, became a state on June 20, 1863. Since that time, the state has been led by governors from many walks of life. Lawyers and judges, journalists and editors, businessmen and entrepreneurs have all brought their distinctive leadership styles to the governor’s office. Some held other public offices as mayors, legislators and congressmen before or after their terms as governor. Others returned to their professions or family businesses. Arthur Ingram Boreman was born on July 24, 1823, in Waynesburg, Pennsylvania, the son of a town merchant. At the age of four, he and his family moved to western Virginia.
