WORKMAN A preacher himself and a son of a preacher, a lifelong farmer, and descended from a generation of farmers, the above named gentleman is now enjoying repose at his well earned home in one of the best agricultural sections of this county. Though not as yet an old man, he is the only survivor of a once numerous family, which, included several sets of children, with the usual collateral relatives now all gone. His parents, Levi and Catherine (Hunter) Workman were farmers in Ohio in the olden days of that state, but came to Kosciusko county, Indiana, in 1859, found a home on a small farm and there spent the remainder of their lives. They were devout members of the German Baptist church, in which denomination the father was a preacher for forty years, and was the elder in the Columbia City church at its organization and continued to serve this church for several years. Their children, eight in number, were George, Norman, Isaac, Sanford , Eliza, David A., Lydia and Robinson, David being the only survivor. Mr. Workman later married Julia Secrist, by whom he had two children, Martha and Mary. His second wife dying, there was a third marriage to Sarah Andrews, who died without issue. David A. Workman, the sixth child, was born in Knox county, Ohio, September 4, 1848 , and hence was about eleven years old when the parental emigration to Indiana took place. He remained at home as a helped in the farm work until he had completed his twenty-fourth year, when he engaged in labor on his own account. In 1876 he was elected a minister of the German Baptist church and ordained by the elders of the church at Columbia City and he has continued to serve that church most of the time since. He has done evangelistic work elsewhere, including various places in Ohio , as also in many counties of Indiana. Himself and wife are the only resident survivors of the original members of the Columbia City church. He has generally attended as a delegate to the district conference. Failing health in 1900 compelled him to give up ministerial work. He owns a neat farm of forty acres in Thorncreek township, where he lives in practical retirement. He is a man of intelligence, well informed on public questions, staunchly Republican in politics and regarded favorably by all his acquaintances. September 8, 1872, Mr. Workman married Henrietta, daughter of Joseph and Charity (Bowman) Connell, of Stark county, Ohio. Her parents came to Indiana in the spring of 1865, first settling in Kosciusko county, but eight years later they came to Whitley county and located on a farm in Thorncreek township. The father died in 1894, but his widow is still living. Their eight children were Henrietta, Samantha, Levi, Rachel, Lemon, Harriet, William and May, of whom six are living. Mr. and Mrs. Workman have had seven children: Charity, deceased in young girlhood; Minetta, wife of Dr. L.A. Kenner; Ira, a railroad man, married Bertha Jackson and lives in Fort Wayne; Amos, who married Estella Shuman and is a railroad employe; Homer is also with the Pennsylvania Railroad at Fort Wayne; Blanche, wife of Horton Bills, of Troy township; and Roy, deceased at thirteen.
