1.5.5A.2B.4.3.5. Joab Worsham b Jun 1879 TX. Change to Joe A. Worsham b. 13 Jun 1881 Hopkins Co, TX & d. 5 Sep 1976 Dallas, TX.(1-1880; 20-1900; 37-1920) He md. Annabel Irion b. 29 Jul 1887 & d. 6 Jan 1980 Dallas, TX. Joe and his son founded the law firm Worsham, Forsythe & Wooldridge, according to the company home page:
“Their history is Worsham, Forsythe & Wooldridge, L.L.P. traces its beginnings back over sixty years ago when Joe Worsham and his son, Irion, set out to establish a different kind of law firm, one in which a commitment to personal service was paramount. They named the new firm Worsham & Worsham. Joe Worsham was a skilled debater and he was elected to the Texas Legislature in May 1902, shortly before his twenty-first birthday. Over the years Joe Worsham practiced with many of Dallas's finest attorneys and began his long association with the emerging electric utility industry, the interurban lines, railroads and construction companies. Irion Worsham joined his father in 1936, shortly after graduation from Harvard Law School. In 1932 a young lawyer from Maryland who had just graduated from Yale Law School stopped over in Dallas en route to California. Earl Forsythe's stopover turned into a permanent relocation. By the time he joined Joe and Irion Worsham in 1951, Earl Forsythe had already earned an excellent reputation in the Dallas legal community and he brought a number of prominent clients to the firm, renamed at that time as Worsham, Forsythe & Riley. In 1970 the firm welcomed Bob Wooldridge's addition and the stage was set for the adoption of the present name of the firm. Throughout its sixty-year history, many other highly capable attorneys have practiced with our firm, which now has more than sixty attorneys striving to maintain Joe and Irion Worsham's commitment to personal service. Unlike other Dallas law firms, WF&W has resisted the temptation to expand too rapidly in size during "boom" years, maintaining, instead, a steady pattern of growth. This decision has enabled the firm to maintain a consistent level of quality and stability that others may have sacrificed in the interest of rapid growth. Our firm has always offered client s the opportunity to enjoy the personal attention that can better be found in smaller firms, coupled with the skills, professionalism and sophistication typically found in the largest firms.” (http://www.worsham.net/history.htm, 2000)
In 1929, Joe A. Worsham in Dallas, TX was also in a venture with his siblings as a VP of Worsham Bros. Motor Co. Inc. in Houston, TX.
1.5.5A.2B.4.3.5.1 Joseph Albert Irion Worsham b. abt. 1913 md. Harriet Louise Lang.(6-1920) According to the Dallas Morning News, National Geographic joins SMU in Tate lecture series, by Robert Miller, Nov 13, 1997, p. 3D:
“On Friday evening you'll find, gathered at the Dallas Museum of Art, the numerous admirers of two prominent Dallas attorneys, hailing their decades of service - not only to the legal fraternity, but to the Dallas community at large. They are Jos. Irion Worsham, 84, and Earl A. Forsythe, 92, both now serving of counsel at the firm of Worsham, Forsythe & Wooldridge LLP, which, incidentally, is celebrating 60 years of practice this fall. Mr. Worsham helped found the prestigious St. Mark's School of Texas, and Mr. Forsythe helped establish the Dallas Community Chest and its successor, the United Way of Metropolitan Dallas, along with Erik Jonsson. Mr. Worsham founded the firm in 1937, a year after the Texas Centennial, with his father, Joe A. Worsham, and recalls that his first case involved a claim of only $18. A longtime client was Dallas Power & Light Co., through which he helped create the city's growing electric utilities business. Other aspects of the practice dealt with real estate, oil and gas and probate law. He served on the Town Council of Highland Park and the Highland Park Community League and was a trustee of St. Philips Episcopal School and Community Center and Gaston Episcopal Hospital. Mr. Forsythe, previously in legal practice at other firms, joined Mr. Worsham to create Worsham, Forsythe & Riley in 1951. By the way, Mr. Worsham graduated from Harvard Law School.”
The Dallas Morning News, JOSEPH WORSHAM AND EARL FORSYTHE, Longtime legal partners are also selfless civic boosters PORTRAITS, May 6, 1998, p 5N,
“They grew up in different worlds: Joseph Irion Worsham, the son of an established Dallas lawyer and state legislator, and Earl Forsythe, the son of a Maryland farmer. But the two men shared a love for the law and a commitment to community - a desire to make the Dallas area a better place to live. Mr. Worsham and Mr. Forsythe serve as of-counsel to Worsham, Forsythe & Wooldridge, a 60-year-old firm Mr. Worsham and his father, the late Joe A. Worsham, founded. The legal enterprise has operated on the belief that lawyers should actively take part in charitable, civic and religious endeavors. Mr. Worsham, the son, and Mr. Forsythe, who joined the firm in 1951, have led by example. Whether helping establish the St. Mark's School of Texas or the United Way of Metropolitan Dallas or supporting their beloved Episcopal church, the two have played significant roles in the education and nonprofit worlds of Dallas. The two Highland Park residents were honored last fall with a special reception upon the firm's 60th anniversary.
"They really are two remarkable men," says Mark Wasem, a lawyer with the firm. Perhaps most remarkable is that they have given so selflessly to countless causes, stepping in whenever time, money or legal expertise was needed. Both men say the lessons of charity were taught at home. Mr. Worsham joined his father at the Dallas law firm Worsham, Burford, Ryburn and Hincks in 1936, following graduation from Harvard Law School. A year later, father and son spun off to form Worsham & Worsham. Mr. Worsham's legal career has focused on utility representation, real estate, oil and gas and probate issues. He served as a member to the Board of Legal Examiners of Texas for 16 years. Just a glance at a 1940s photograph of Mr. Worsham in his office brings back vivid memories of his early law days. "I'm sure we closed the windows for the picture, but I know they were open because it was in the summer and the building didn't have air conditioning," he says recalling the sweltering summer day and less-comfortable climate control. As Mr. Worsham's professional life grew, so did his activities across the city. He has served as a trustee to the Gaston Episcopal Hospital, St. Philip's Community Center, Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children, Shelter Ministries Foundation and Southwestern Medical Foundation. He served on the Highland Park Town Council from 1986 to 1990. Mr. Worsham also has held numerous national and local positions with the Episcopal church; he is a founding member of Trinity Episcopal Church. He is a current member of the Salesmanship Club and a founding member of the St. Mark's School of Texas. "We were just taught these are things you do," says a soft-spoken Mr. Worsham, who hesitates to discuss in detail his generosity.

The Dallas Morning News, Jun 20, 1999, p 2H:
“Some important gifts to the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas follow: Well-known Dallas attorney and civic leader Jos. Irion Worsham recently gave $500,000 through the Southwestern Medical Foundation, which the foundation will match, to enable researchers at UT Southwestern to learn more about Alzheimer's disease and develop better diagnostic techniques and treatments. The donation will establish the Harriet L. Worsham Fund for Alzheimer's Disease Research. "I wanted to establish an endowment for Alzheimer's research because it is such a surging problem," said Mr. Worsham, who named the fund for his wife of 61 years. Medical reports say that by the time the majority of baby boomers reach the age when many people fall prey to the brain-degenerative disease, 14 million Americans will have Alzheimer's. "It is devastating our older population," said Mr. Worsham, a Southwestern Medical Foundation honorary trustee and its legal adviser for years. "I want to do something to help defeat this debilitating disease."
After graduating cum laude from Harvard Law School in 1936, Irion Worsham returned to Dallas to join his father in the practice of law. Over the years, his practice focused primarily on electric utilities, real estate, oil & gas and probate matters. Well known for his legal scholarship, Worsham was appointed by the Texas Supreme Court in 1952 to the Board of Law Examiners--a position he held for sixteen years. He has held numerous leadership positions on a national, diocesan and parish level in the Episcopal Church. Active in community affairs, he served the Town of Highland Park as a member of its Town Council (1986-1990) and as a long-time member of its Community League. Many Dallas area civic organizations have benefited from Worsham's leadership and counsel. Among these are the Salesmanship Club, Gaston Episcopal Hospital, St. Phillip's School and Community Center, Dallas Society for Crippled Children and St. Mark's School of Texas, which he helped establish. Although retired from the active practice of law, he remains Of Counsel to the firm he and his father founded.”

"Mr. Wm. S. Grimes, Austin, Texas
Arleston, Texas June 21, 1905
Dear Uncle:
The bed came yesterday In good shape. We are having
It varnished and put In good condition and my wife Is as
proud of It as she can be. We appreciate very much the
kindness In allowing us to have this old relic. I would
not allow you to prepay the freight on it and sent the money
to Will Russell today to pay the freight.
Maggie leaves for Tennessee on a visit to her sister
In a few days. She will be gone three or four weeks. After
her return my mother will make us a visit and while she is
with us I sincerely hope that you may be able to make us a
visit also.
One of your former citizens, Rev. Joe Westmoreland,
who now lives in Natcbez in Anderson Co., just left here
where he has been taking the Pasteur treatment to prevent
Hydrophobia. He was bitten by a dog that I think was un-
questionably mad. He took the full treatment and I think
is now entirely immune.
Give my love to all of our people and again accept
our most sincere thanks for your kindness in allowing us to
have the bed.
Yours very truly,
B. M. Worsham."
