The following was taken from the bio published under her spouse Harry Worthman:

..........At Blackfoot, Idaho, September 26, 1906, Judge Worthman was married to Miss May L. Scott, a lady most prominently known in educational circles in Idaho, having served for four years as state superintendent of public instruction, from 1903 until 1907. She was born at lola, Kansas, October 10, 1868, a daughter of Daniel H. and Hannah M. (Anderson) Scott, both of whom have passed away. Her father was a veteran of the Union army, having served for four years in the Civil war, entering the service as a drummer boy. In her school days Mrs. Worthman had displayed special aptitude in her studies and after removing to Idaho she became a teacher in the schools of Bingham county. Later she was chosen superintendent of schools for that county and the excellent work which she did in that connection led to her election to the office of state superintendent of public instruction. She has exerted a widely felt influence on the intellectual progress of the state and remains a prominent figure in those social circles where intelligence and true worth are accepted as the passports into good society.
