Found you an obituary for Daniel, and note-he was buried in "Liberty Cemetery" in Spartanburg: 40653089

DS Worsham, respected resident of the city, died Wednesday, at the age of 63. Funeral services were held in the Beaumont Methodist Church on Thursday and interment followed in Liberty Cemetery. Mr Worsham is survived by his wife, Mrs Lucy Worsham, two daughters, Mrs Docia Brown and Mrs Laura Holt, of Spartanburg; two sons, David Worsham and Willie Worsham, of Fletcher, NC; his mother, Mrs Sarah Worsham, of Bamberg; two sisters, Mrs Mary Finlay and Miss Eva Worsham, of Bamberg; and five brothers, Meck Worsham, of Laurens; Jeff Worsham, Marion Worsham, Reuben Worsham, and Thomas Worsham.

Notes about this obituary: It tells me that whoever supplied the information about him didnt know much about his brothers and sisters. Mrs Mary Finlay was Mae Fendley (she, Sarah Worsham and Eva were in Bamberg for a year or two before moving on to Charleston). At least 3 living sisters were left out, Martha Ann, Addie and Sarah Jane. "Meck" was Nick, and he may have been living in Laurens at the time, but I've never seen him anywhere but Madison County and Hickory, NC. There was NO Marion Worsham, there was a sister Martha, and a sister Mary Caldona, but no brother Marion. And finally, his name: first name was Daniel. Dont know what "S" stood for, but that's the name in his mother's bible, Daniel S Worsham; his sons insisted he was Daniel Joseph Worsham. (Information supplied by [email protected])
