Elliott O. Worden, 85, former surrogate of Oneida County, died at 9:30 last night at his home, 127 Turin St., where he had continuously resided for 50 years. Mr. Worden had been bedridden since April 20, 1933.
His wife, the former Adalade C. Lewis, to whom he was married by the Rev. Robert Flint at Lee Center on May 27, 1872, survives with a son, John L. Worden, and a grandson, John W. Worden.
Mr. Worden was born at Annsville on April 17, 1849, the son of the late William Edson and Electa Manchester Worden.
He studied law with Nock & Briggs, James P. Olney, and John S. Baker until June of 1883 when he was admitted to the bar at Buffalo. Soon afterwards he began the practice of his profession in this city and quickly earned an enviable reputation.
In 1893 he was chosen special surrogate of Oneida County, serving two terms. For several months during the illness of Surrogate Bright, he served as surrogate.
While surrogate Mr. Worden made many important decisions and held the record of never having a decision reversed by a higher court.
Mr. Worden, a year ago last Christmas, suffered a shock and since then conducted his legal profession from his home.
When the building of the Utica Courthouse was being contemplated, Mr. Worden was a member of the commission that condemned the land upon which the structure was later constructed.
He was a member of the Rome and Oneida County Bar Association.
