A biographical sketch of DeKalb County, Illinois, published in 1885, co ntained the following: I. J. Woodworth, resident of Sycamore, is the agent for the estate of Mrs. James S. Waterman. He was born Dec. 10, 1850, in Brownhelm, Lorain Co., Ohio. His father and mother, John and Mary (Johnson) Woodworth, were natives of Chenango Co., N. Y., and located soon after their marriage in Sandusky. In 1853 they came to Illinois, and the senior Woodworth bought a farm in Cortland Township, DeKalb County. The land was in its original condition. At the date of its owner's death, which occurred Aug. 27, 1858, it was all improved. Mr. Woodworth went to live when he was nine years of age with Milo Wells, of Sycamore, and worked on a farm except in the winter seasons, when he attended district school. In the summer of 1870, when 19 years old, he suddenly formed a resolution, while engaged in farm labor, that he would not be an agriculturist through life, and he then and there laid down the implement he was using and went to Sycamore, where he formed a partnership with F. B. Colton in the sale of musical instruments. In the spring of 1872 he went Madison, Wis., and there pursued a course of study prepatory to a business career, attending the Northwest Commercial College. In the spring of 1873 he went to Quincy, Ill., and entered upon the duties of a teacher of plain and ornamental penmanship, book-keeping and business correspondent in the 'Gem City Business College'. He resigned the position July 15, 1876, to enter upon the responsibilities of Principal of the 'Theoretical Business and Penmanship Departments of Jacksonville Business College,' at Jacksonville, Ill., which he held until July 25, 1883. At that date he resigned to assume the position he now occupies. He was united in marriage, June 6, 1876, to Nellie L., daughter of Dr. Charles W. and Lucia C. Babcock. They have five children, - James A., Jessie M., Arthur C., Charles J. and Edward G. Mrs. Woodworth is the niece of Mrs. James S. Waterman.
