OBIT: Douglas County Herald March 14, 1907. Again, the Angel of Death has come and taken away one whom I loved and have lived with for the last thirty years. John L. Workman was called home on March 9, 1907. He was 94 years old, was born in West Virginia, in Carter County, and has been a citizen of Douglas County for 31 years. His health has been failing for about 9 months, and about 4 months of that time, he has been praising God all the time, and has now gone home to rest. My loss is his eternal gain. He requested his children to meet him at home and not forget to pray. He was laid to rest in the Ava Cemetery Sunday evening at 4:00 p.m. This is the request of his companion Eliza J. Workman. Mr. John Workman died at his home one mile east of Ava last Saturday and was buried Sunday evening in the Ava cemetery. He was nearing life's sunset and after a long useful life he died as he had lived – honored, trusted and loved.

In 1856 he married Olive Lambert in Gallia County, OH. In 1860 he is living in Greenfield Township, Gallia County, OH (under the name Wortman) with 5 kids, wife is absent. Wife appears in 1860 to be living also in Greenfield Township, Gallia County (under the name Caroline Lambert) with mother, brother and sister. In 1870 entire family appears living in District 5, Boyd County, KY (under the name Workman). In 1880 the family is living in Upper Township, Lawrence, OH. In 1900 he is living in Walls Township, Douglas County, MO; he has new wife Jane. Original page says they have been married 19 years. This would tend to indicate the divorce occurred shortly after 1880. Apparently he died in 1907.
