Hawthorne, Julian, Ed. History of Washington the Evergreen State: From Early Dawn to Daylight. Vol. 2. New York: American Historical Publishing Co., 1893. p. 671. WOODWORTH, CLARENCE D., druggist, of Ellensburg, Wash., was born in New York twenty-five years ago, the son of Melvin and Ellen (Loomis) Woodworth, both of whom were natives of the Empire State. Educated in the public schools and at Cazenovia Seminary, where he took the English studies, he supplemented this instruction with a pharmaceutical course at Union College at Albany, N.Y., graduating in 1888. Coming West to Oregon, he began active life in 1888 by taking a position in the drug house of George L. Blackman, at Albany, in that State, where he remained eight months. He then came to Ellensburg, and with his brother, D. O. Woodworth, established himself as a druggist, and has built up a fine class of trade. His place is favorably located, and his excellent management and personal popularity have done much to attract custom. He is a Republican in politics and takes a warm interest in all that conduces to the substantial improvement of the city where he resides.
