JOSEPH RAWORTH, farmer; P.O. Chandlerville; was born in 
Sheffield, England, Dec. 20, 1820, and is the eldest of two 
children, born to Ebenezer H. and Sarah (Wing) Raworth, 
natives of England. Ebenezer H. Raworth was a grocer, died 
Aug. 11, 1858, aged sixty-six years and was interred at the 
Cemetery Church, Sheffield, England; his wife, born in 
1799, died in 1824. Joseph received his primary education 
in the parish schools, finishing at Moorgate Academy, near

New Orleans the fifth of April that year, engaged in 
steamboating two years, taught school three months in 1846, 
went to Scott County, Ills., and began farming, and in 1860 
came to this county. He has since followed farming in this 
county, and now has 105 acres here and 320 acres in 
Nebraska, all of which has been made by his won labors, he 
having only a crown in his pocket when he landed in New 
Orleans. He married in Mason County, Ills., in August 1857, 
Alice Tomlinson a native of England, born in February, 
1832. From this union six children have been born:
