Biography

Source 1: James H. Worden was married January 17, 1883, at Carbondale, Pa., to Elizabeth I. Joyce, daughter of Thomas and Margaret (Hartley) Joyce. They have two children: Lockwood Brelsford, born July 4, 1886, and Margaret Hartley, born October 14, 1892.

Mrs. James H. Worden was born at Carbondale, Pa., May 1, 1857. Her father, Thomas Joyce, was born in the north of Ireland, June 27, 1809, and emigrated to America in 1844. He was a farmer and sheep raiser. He first married Anna, daughter of John and Anna Adams. Their children were: Emily, who resides near Scranton, Pa., and Robert, who died June 17, 1859, aged twenty-one years. In his second marriage, Mr. Joyce was united to Margaret, daughter of Henry and Margaret Hartley, by whom he had four children: Thomas H., Annie M., wife of William Kelley, of Oneonta, N.Y., Elizabeth Isabella, wife of Mr. Worden, and John, who died June 12, 1860, aged sixteen. Mrs. Margaret Joyce died August 23, 1869, aged fifty-six. Mr. Joyce was married the third time December 24, 1872, to Eliza, daughter of Robert Reynolds. Of this marriage there is no issue. Mr. Joyce entered the services of the Delaware and Hudson Railroad Company in the capacity of engineer, assisting in the building of the first railroad in Luzerne county, and remained in the employment of this company until 1868, when he retired. He was an active member of the Episcopal church until his death, June 13, 1881, in the seventy-second year of his age. Mrs. Eliza Joyce survives him and resides at Factoryville, Pa., where she holds membership in the Methodist church.
