Elsye lived as a widow at 406 S Jackson, here in MP for many years. Her name appears in the society columns and she was active in the local "Scribbler", a writing club. In directories, her occupation is listed, "professor and writer". Courtesy of Henry County Heritage Trust (I question this biography that Henry County Heritage Trust has, that Elsye's birth father was a descendant of poet Samuel Woodworth. I show that Elsye's father is Roland Lewis Woodworth and Celeste Mann and as far as I can tell he is not a descendant of poet Samuel Woodworth. Elsye also had a sister named Cecil Viola Woodworth who her grandmother Anna help to raise. See 1885 Henry Co., Iowa census. Cecil Viola Woodworth married Harry B Hewett and they had 3 children, Paul, Flora, Don. Flora is mentioned in Elsye Tash Sater's as her niece, Mrs. A.H. Myers of Kansas City, Mo.. I show that Roland Lewis Woodworth is the son of Justus Woodworth 1802-1841 and Anna Brakeman "Woodworth" Morford 1801-1887. Justus is the son of James Woodworth and Lucretia Catlin.)
