ELDER JESSE B. WORDEN, son of Deacon John Worden, was born in Washington County, RI, in 1787. He mastered his alphabet after he was twelve years old, and acquired knowledge enough to teach school. In 1812 he was drafted, and entered the service as sergeant-major and afterwards became lieutenant. He engaged in mercantile business for a time, which only brought disaster. During a revival in 1816, he was converted, and in 1818 was licensed to preach by the Baptists. He labored in Onondaga County for more than sixteen years. He came to Susquehanna County in 1835, and became associated with Elder Dimock at Montrose for three years, and was sole pastor there from 1838 to 1844, when he became pastor of the Jackson Church. In his last year's connection with this church, at his request, Nathan Callender was his co-pastor, and in 1853, Roswell G. Lamb became sole pastor of the church. Mr. Worden, like Albert Post, was a strong Abolitionist, and maintained his views despite all opposition. He rested from his labors Aug 6 1855, in the sixty-ninth year of his age.
