CLASS OF 1901
Dr. Eugene Mark Worthen died at Ashland, N. H., December 31, of pneumonia. He had been in declining health for the past four years, and under the care of a trained nurse for ten months.
Dr. Worthen was born in Holderness, N. H., November 23, 1872, his parents being Warren and Mary (Moulton) Worthen. He was educated in the Holderness schools and at New Hampton Literary Institution. An early purpose to enter the ministry was altered to medical study.
After obtaining his degree, he spent some months in New York, at the Post-graduate Medical School and the New York Lying-in Hospital. In June, 1901, he opened an office in Ashland, where he continued in successful practice until the failure of his health, except a short time in which he practiced in Concord. His reputation for accurate diagnosis and skill in treatment was more than local.
Dr. Worthen was first married to Jessie, daughter of John and Betsey (Piper) Davison of Holderness, from whom he was divorced in May, 1907. They have one daughter. In January, 1908, he was married to Harriet, daughter of Freeman Cyrus and Lizzie (Chase) Willis of Plymouth, N. H., who survives her husband, with a son and a daughter.
