Mary Fouts Work was born on November 20, 1822 and departed this life March 25, 1908, at the advanced age of 86 years. She was married to William H. Work on April 22, 1941. She was the daughter of Jacob and Mary Douglas Fouts, who immigrated from North Carolina in 1806 and settled in an unknown forest, the land now occupied by Elmer and Ira Fouts. The family comprised of ten children all of who lived to manhood and womanhood, save Salem, who died in infancy and was the first one buried in the now extensive Fouts Cemetery, one mile North of New Washington. The other children were Lomon, David, John C.,and the daughters, Sarah, who was the wife of Frederick Fisher; Cynthia, wife of jacon Ratts; Elizabeth, wife of John Fisher' Isabella, wife of Silas Bottorff; Jane, wife of Lt. Philip Row, and the subject of this sketch, all of whom have now passed away, save David, long a helpless invalid.
William H. Work was the son of Samuel and Elizabeth Henley Work, an early pioneer family who came to this country from Pennsylvania in 1804. The children consisted of five sons and five daughters, namely: William Henry, Andrew J., Jesse H., Alexander C., and Dr. Samuel M.; the daughters, Malinda, wife of Francis Ratts; Clarissa, wife of James C. Crawford, Louisa, wife of John Begg; Elizabeth, wife of James Wheatley, and Sarah, wife of James Eversole, all of whom have passed away except the last two named.
Her husband passed away in August 1884, and her descendants consist of 3 children: Henry F., Mary Elizabeth McLLvaine and Dr. Will F. Work, named in order of their age who mourn the loss and revere her name. Six grandchildren and five great-grandchildren survive.
The funeral services were conducted at the New Washington Presbyterian Church at 1 o'clock p.m., Thursday, march 26th by Elder Harry C. Jackson of Charlestown, and an old friend of the family. A large concours of neighbors and friends followed her to her resting place in Crown Hill cemetery.
And so in the swift and relentless flight of time, another mother of Israel has passed to her reward. The New Washington Courier, New Washington, Indiana, Friday, April 3, 1908.
