About Anna Augusta Worden
First wife of Daniel Toffey Worden, mother of Harriet Worden Lowell (1871-1943) and John Lorimer Worden (1873-1938).
"Obituary Notes," New York Times, June 28, 1887, page 5, Mrs. Daniel T. Worden, wife of the stock broker, died suddenly yesterday after a short illness, of pneumonia. Mrs. Worden was conceded to be one of the handsomest women in New York and a very prominent figure in society. Two years ago she was presented to the Queen, and during the remainder of the season moved in London's most exclusive society. She was a daughter of Mr. John Wilmot of the Produce Exchange. Aside from her husband and two children, she leaves three sisters and a brother to mourn her loss. Mr. Worden, who was traveling in Europe, was summoned home when his wife's illness first assumed an alarming phase, but he will only reach in time for the funeral, the date of which has not been set.
"Obituary: Mrs. Daniel T. Worden," New York Tribune, June 28, 1887, page 5: Mrs. Annie Augusta Worden died at her home in West Thirty-ninth street. at 10 o’clock yesterday morning. after an illness of about two weeks. Her husband, Daniel Toffey Worden, son of Admiral Worden, of Monitor fame, who has been absent in Europe, was informed by cable of his wife's dangerous condition and sailed for New-York on last Saturday [June 25]. The body of Mrs. Worden will be embalmed until his arrival, when arrangements for the funeral will be decided upon. || Mrs. Worden was the daughter of John Wilmot, a well-known merchant of the Produce Exchange, and was married in this city about nineteen years ago. She was regarded as one of the most attractive and beautiful women of New-York, and was especially distinguished in works of charity. She had been for a number of years the secretary of the Board of Managers of the New-York Skin and Cancer Hospital and to this institution she largely devoted her time and energies. At the recent Kirmness for the benefit of this hospital, held at the Metropolitan Opera House, she was constantly active and it is feared labored beyond her strength. In the hope that rest and change of climate and scene might restore her to health, Mrs. Worden was soon to have joined her father upon the Restigouchie River in Canada, where he was spending the summer. Mr. WIlmot arrived just before her death. Mrs. Worden leaves two children, Hattie, age fifteen, and Lorimer, age thirteen. She was in her forty-third year.
