THE FIVE PURPOSE FUEL
Sundown, Texas
Following work on the railroad
a home-made trailer was only
one of the incidents in the life of
a pioneer of Levelland, Mrs. John
W. (BUI) Worley.
She came with her husband to
Ropesville in 1922, where they
farmed until the railroad was
started from Levelland to Bledsoe
in 1925. It was then that Worley
took up the construction work and
took his wife and two children a-
long with him in the trailer, pulled
'by a Fordson tractor.
Mrs. Worley cooked and eared
for her family, and just to make
sure there Was plenty of fresh
milk for her children, a milk cow
wag pulled behind the trailer and
milking was one of her daily
chores.
Brought up on a farm in east
Texas and used to haVd work, the
pioneer didn’t flinch when her hus-
band made tiie decision about his
work and the move to West Tex-
as.
Foilowing the completion of the
railroad work, the family return-
ed to Levelland and Worley took
up work as a mechanic.
-With only oow trails over Level-
land back in 1922, the pioneer is
still amazed at It’s-rapid growth,
which she has seen from the very
beginning.
"The only filling station in town
was run by a Mr. Gunn,” the
pioneer recalls.
Mrs. Worley joined the First
Baptist Church when (Rev. Hughes
was its pastor and services were
held in the tabernacle with a dirt
floor.
The pioneer was bom in Delta
County, near Cooper, Oct. 30, 1900,
the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
J. H. Hart, the oldest daughter,
fourth child of a family of ten
children. |
Culminating a courtship that be-
gan in the little community school
in Delta County, was the marriage
of Mr. and Mrs. Worley in the
Baptist Church at Eedmore, Dec.
7, 1919. She was 19. They began
their first home at Klondike, where
Worley began working as a me-
chanic.
When the father of the pioneer's
husband decided to come west, the
other members of the family decid-
ed to do likewise. Mr. and Mrs.
Worley settled at Monroe, a small
community, near Lubbock and the
father moved on to Levelland on
a fawn in M09 The women made
the trip to Ltfobock by train, while
the men came by automobile.
The mother of two sons, .both
serving in World W*r R the pio-
neer experienced anxious momenta
days and months, especially dur-
ing the time her son
was hospitalized irf a hospital in
England for five months. His legs
and feet had been frozen to the
kThe eldest joined the reserves
after World War II, and later ser-
ved in the Korean War.
"That was when my hair turned
white, when my sons were over-
seas,” remarked Mrs. Worley. She
is very thankful though, now that
both sons and her two daughters
art all living in Levelland near
their parents.
People are attracted by the beau
tiful handwork of the pioneer, who
has many hobbies. She keeps busy
at some type of handwork during
her spare moments of housekeep-
ing at their home, 113 Maple St.
Pictures painted on glass with a
plastic paint are unique and very
beautiful The miniature plaster-
Paris gardens and ornaments,
made by the pioneer are of her
own design and origin. A little
miniature garden, complete with
plantar animals and figurines if

ed in the natural colors and is an
attractive and decorative piece for
any home. Other than that, she

pieces quilts for her grandchildren land for a time and went to work
and children, having already-made
several for each of them.
The pioneer attributes her hap-
piness to her interests and keeping
busy with her work and her fami-
ly. She is a member of the Friend-
ship Circle, a small club which
rpeets twice monthly.
