JOSEPH BARZILLAI WORTH


W ORTH, JOSEPH BARZILLAI, merchant and manu- facturer, secretary and treasurer of the J. B. Worth Company, of Petersburg, Virginia, was born in Wil- mington, in Hanover county, North Carolina, on the 16th of October, 1856.


His father, Barzillai Gardner Worth, was a wholesale grocer and commission merchant of that place; and he had served as county commissioner of his county, and as a member of the school board. He is remembered as energetic, charitable, and as a man who was honored for his strict integrity and square deal- ing. He had married Miss Mary Elizabeth Carter, daughter of Jesse Carter. She was a great grand-daughter of Colonel Archi- bald Murphy of the Revolutionary army.


The earliest known American ancestor of this family was William Worth, who came from England and settled in Nan- tucket in 1665. The family in England trace their descent from William Worth of the time of Henry II-De la Worthe, of the followers of William the Conqueror is believed to be an earlier ancestor. His descendants are to be found in both the Northern and the Southern states, Gorhams, Macys, Howlands and Hus- seys-General Worth of the Mexican war, and the late Governor Worth of North Carolina, are kinsmen.


In his boyhood, healthy and fond of out-of-door sports, and especially of fishing and hunting, Joseph Barzillai Worth lived during most of his boyhood and youth in the town of Wilming- ton. He was early trained to habits of industry, and was charged with the responsibility for certain regular duties in connection with family life in the home, and with his father's business. The way was open for him to attend excellent schools; and he passed two years as an under-graduate in Guilford college; but he did not remain to complete the course.


In 1876, when twenty years of age, he took a place as book- keeper with the Navassa Guano company, of which Mr. Donald MacRae was treasurer. The circumstances which surrounded his

JOSEPH BARZILLAI WORTH


boyhood, and youth, made a business career seem to him most de- sirable. He soon became interested in the possibilities of raising and marketing the peanut crop, which has come to be one of very considerable importance in his part of the South. The man- ufacture of ice also appealed to him as a business in which a large demand might be supplied with reasonable profit. In 1890 he organized at Petersburg, Virginia, a business as a wholesale dealer in peanuts, and as owner of a plant for the manufacture of ice. This company was in 1893 incorporated as the J. B. Worth Company; with Mr. Joseph Barzillai Worth as the secre- tary and treasurer of the corporation. This business has steadily grown, until it has come to be one of the most important houses of the state.


On the 16th of April, 1878, Mr. Worth married Miss Gracie Amelia Brink, daughter of Colonel E. R. Brink, of Wilmington. They have had three children, all of whom are living in 1908.


Mr. Worth is connected with the Methodist Episcopal Church, South.


In politics, Mr. Worth has always been a Democrat, never having felt disposed to swerve from his allegiance to the prin- ciples and the nominees of his chosen party.


He is closely devoted to business; but when he takes recrea- tion his favorite amusement has always been fishing; and he en- joys being ranked with the men who love to look to Isaak Walton as the patron saint of their chosen sport, angling.


To the young men of Virginia who wish to attain success in life, Mr. Worth offers this piece of encouraging advice: "Re- member that if a man is honest, industrious and frugal, he can- not fail to make at least a moderate success in life."


WILLIAM ANDERSON WORTH


W ORTH, WILLIAM ANDERSON, manufacturer and banker, was born in Wilmington, in Hanover county, North Carolina, on November 7, 1870. His father was Archibald Carter Worth, his mother, Elizabeth Huske Anderson. The father was a man of importance in the town of Dumont, Bergen county, New Jersey, to which he moved during the childhood of William A. Worth. He was a broker and commission merchant by occupation, but successively held the offices of mayor, councilman, member of the school board and road commissioner.


The first American ancestor of William Anderson Worth was William Worth, born in Barnstable, Devon county, Eng- land, came to Massachusetts in 1662 and married Sarah Macy in 1665. He was the first justice of the peace in the island of Nantucket, was clerk 1675-86, associate justice of the colony and clerk of court of admirality of the island of Nantucket. From this man came all descendants spelling their name Worth- General Worth of Mexican war fame was in direct line of descent. Other descendants who achieved distinction were Gov- ernor Jonathan Worth of North Carolina, a great-uncle of Wil- liam A. Worth; and Judge Archibald De Bow Murphey, profes- sor of language and a lawyer, who was graduated from the Uni- versity of North Carolina (1799) with highest honors.


William A. Worth was healthy and active, fond of outdoor sports, yet studiously inclined and with a marked inclination for mechanics, which he has retained through life to his practical advantage. He is a specialist in the construction and operation of ice machinery. As a school boy he was an omnivorous reader of history, standard romance and mechanics. Graduating from the Dumont public schools in 1886, he took a short post-graduate course in Latin, algebra and geometry at Trinity college, New York city, and in September, 1888, entered upon his first real work as clerk in a railroad office in the metropolis.

WILLIAM ANDERSON WORTH


During his boyhood his father had always insisted that he perform some regular task, generally that of garden work. Owing to such association he imbibed a love of flowers that re- mains one of his marked characteristics. The influence of his mother was strong upon his spiritual training. A desire to be employed at some definite work led him to his first position, which he later gave up in order to devote his attention to the construction of ice machinery at Petersburg, Virginia, then at Wilmington, North Carolina, and later at Greensboro, North Carolina, finally returning to Petersburg in 1895. He is secretary of the Appomattox Trust Company and treasurer of the Jackson Coal and Coke company. An Episcopalian from youth, Mr. Worth is a vestryman of St. Paul's and has served as secretary or treasurer of various orders in that parish. In politics he is a Democrat.


He finds recreation in books and flowers and is fond of automobiling. For physical culture he prefers deep breathing exercises to fatiguing muscular action, but he is also an advocate of the benefits derived from walking.


Mr. Worth was married December 1, 1897, to Lucia Morri- son Bernard.


His address is 119 Franklin Street, Petersburg, Dinwiddie County, Virginia.


JOSEPH CLOYD WYSOR


W YSOR, JOSEPH CLOYD, of Pulaski, Virginia, for eight years commonwealth's attorney of Pulaski county, Democratic elector for president of the United States, voting for Grover Cleveland in 1892, a member of the State Constitutional convention of 1901, and Democratic nominee for member of congress from the ninth congressional district in 1904, was born in Pulaski county, Virginia, September 17, 1855, one of twin brothers, the other of whom, Henry Wysor, died in May, 1863. His father, Benjamin F. Wysor, born November 24, 1813, was a lawyer and a prominent man, many years common- wealth's attorney of Pulaski county, a member of the Constitu- tional convention of 1850-1851, and a member of the Secession convention in 1861. He married Harriett Jane Jordan, daughter of Michael and Elizabeth Jordan, of Newbern, Pulaski county Virginia. He was shot by the Federal troops, at Newbern, Vir- ginia, in 1864, just at the close of the battle of Cloyd's Mountain, in which he had taken part, and he died from his wounds on May 26, 1864. He made a deep and lasting impression upon the people of Southwest Virginia, where he is still remembered with honor and affection. Two of his sons, H. L. Wysor and William Wirt Wysor, although too young to go into the Civil war at its beginning, saw some service in the Confederate army in the last year of the war. William Wirt was vice counsul at Cadiz, Spain, under the last Cleveland administration, and died at sea when re- turning home.


The name Wysor, as it is now spelled, was changed from " Weiser " about 1800, by Captain " Harry " Wysor, and the new spelling was adopted by all the branches of the family in South- west Virginia.


John Conrad Weiser, Sr., with his motherless children, left Gross-Aspatch, Germany, on June 24, 1709, reaching England in August. About December 25, 1709, he left England for America, arriving at New York on June 17, 1710. Among his children was George Frederick Weiser, father of Adam Weiser, and the pro- genitor of all the Wysor families in Virginia.

JOSEPH CLOYD WYSOR


Col. Conrad Weiser, a brother of George Frederick Weiser, was a prominent citizen of Pennsylvania, and a close friend and compatriot of Benjamin Franklin. He resided at Womelsdorf, Berks county, Pennsylvania, and was celebrated for his skill and influence as an interpreter between the Whites and Indians. In Germany, before John Conrad Weiser, Sr., emigrated, his father's family had been one of marked influence. His father, Jacob Weiser, and his grandfather of the same name, had been magis- trates in Gross-Aspatch, Germany.


George Frederick Weiser, son of John Conrad Weiser, the first emigrant to America, was born in 1698. The complete record of the family is lacking in dates from his birth until the birth of his grandson, Henry Weiser, (son of Adam Weiser) in 1755. This Henry Weiser was a soldier in the Revolutionary war, and his uniform ("Regimentals") is still preserved as a relic of 1776, in the home of a relative near Dublin, Virginia. It is related of him that in the battle of King's Mountain, he ran out between the lines under fire in order to give a drink of water to a wounded British soldier of the line against whom he was fighting, and refused the gold watch of the wounded soldier proffered in return. Among his children was Captain Harry Wysor, born August 7, 1786, an officer in the War of 1812, who died in Pulaski county in August, 1859. He was the grandfather of the subject of this sketch.


Joseph Cloyd Wysor received his college training at Emory and Henry college, Virginia, and was graduated from the scien- tific course in 1875, and from the regular classical course in 1877. He was a member of the Hermesian society, and took a medal as its best debater, representing Emory and Henry college as the col- lege orator in the Intercollegiate oratorical contest at Lynchburg.


Entering upon the practice of law in May, 1879, Mr. Wysor was elected commonwealth's attorney of Pulaski county for a term of four years, and in May, 1883, he was re-elected for another term of four years, but he declined re-election in 1887. His practice became wider and more lucrative from year to year, until he has acquired a handsome competency. He has practiced in Southwest Virginia in many important cases, civil and crim- inal; and his conduct of criminal cases has attracted wide interest.


476


JOSEPH CLOYD WYSOR


Perhaps one secret of the success which he has attained is to be found in the personal characteristics which lead him to say that " what little he has achieved should be attributed to birth and blood, environment, education, luck, and individual initia- tive; while the lofty manhood of his father, and the sweet char- acter of his mother, made impressions upon him for good which time has not been able to efface; and to all the foregoing factors contributing to success and happiness, must be added the kindness of friends, and the influence of a faithful wife and of loving children."


Mr. Wysor married on the 2nd of October, 1879, Miss Jennie May Gardner, daughter of John Rayburn Gardner, a captain in the Confederate army, who was killed in the battle of Shiloh, and a niece of Colonel R. D. Gardner, deceased, who was a veteran of both the Mexican war and of the Confederate army in the Civil war. Six of their children are now living: Emma May Dun- lap, wife of R. F. Dunlap, a prominent lawyer of Hinton, West Virginia; J. F. Wysor, treasurer of Pulaski county ; J. L. Wysor, a lawyer in partnership with his father; Harriett I. Wysor, Mary E. Wysor and W. H. Wysor.


In the presidential election of 1892, Mr. Wysor was one of the Democratic electors of his state, voting for Grover Cleveland, the successful candidate. In 1901, in the Constitutional conven- tion which was called to frame the present constitution of Vir- ginia, Mr. Wysor served as a member of the committee on cor- porations, and of the committee on suffrage; and he was also a member of the committee on the final revision of the constitution. He took an active part in the convention and frequently engaged in debates. His joint debate with ex-Governor Cameron on the questions whether members of the convention should take an oath, and on the submission of the constitution to the people for ratification or rejection, created much interest in the convention and throughout the state. Mr. Wysor advocated taking the oath, and submitting the constitution to the people, while Governor Cameron opposed these views. The convention refused to take the oath; and the constitution was proclaimed. The speeches of Mr. Wysor and Governor Cameron appear in the published de- bates of the convention.


477


JOSEPH CLOYD WYSOR


In 1904, Mr. Wysor was nominated for congress by the Democratic party of the ninth congressional district; but in the Republican land-slide of that year Mr. Campbell Slemp, the Republican nominee, was chosen.


The biography of Mr. Wysor makes an interesting chapter in the annals of a family of excellent German stock which for two hundred years has been identified with the life of the Ameri- can colonies and of the United States, and has furnished, especially to Pennsylvania and Virginia, many men and women of sterling character, sound achievement and public spirit.
