The LaCygne Weekly Journal Linn County Friday April 28, 1899 Saturday night at about 12 o'clock E.W. BARTLESON, of Pleasanton, received a message stating that his daughter, Mrs. Esther WORLAND of Los Angeles, California, had died that night at 8 10 o'clock. Mrs. WORLAND was well known in Linn county--her husband, Harry Worland, having been in the drug business in both Pleasanton and Mound City for a number of years. She was a splendid woman and possessed a noble and generous character and disposition. Mr. and Mrs. Worland were among the best and most energetic citizens Pleasanton ever had and as a mark of the progressive interest they took in that town there are several fine brick buildings now standing that probably would have never been built had it not been for H.C. Worland. The many friends of the lonely husband and of W.E. Bartleson's family in this section tender their sympathy in the sad and untimely death.
