Notes for Worthington Parsons
Worthington Parsons, fifth son of William W. and Hester Ward Parsons, was born in Randolph County, Virginia. He was brought up on the farm and taught industry. When he launched out on the sea of life and engaged in a business he was successful, the many useful lessons learned in his boyhood days was of value to
him.

He migrated to California, 1876, where he thought there was better advantages to accumulate a share of worldly goods. When he arrived in the land of plenty, he engaged in farming and stock raising, and gave that his attention for over twenty years. By coservative business management he amassed a fortune to which he is still adding more of the "lubricating oil" of life. He deals in racing stock; he owned "Bertie Mack" one of the best trotters in California. He now resides in Salinas, California.
