Biographical and Historical Record of Ringgold and Decatur Counties, Iowa, (Lewis Publishing Company (1887)), pp. 669-70:

"E. T. WORDEN is a native of Dutchess County, New York, born in November, 1846, a son of Jared N. and Maria M. (Dentor) Worden. He was reared a farmer, receiving his education in the public schools. When he was eleven years of age, in 1857, his parents moved to Decatur County, Iowa, and here he was reared to manhood. He has always given his attention to agricultural pursuits, and now owns a fine farm of 120 acres, his building improvement as being commodious and convenient. He has entirely lost the sight of one eye, the result of a stroke from a corn-stalk. Mr. Worden is in politics a Republican. His wife is a member of the Christian church. He was married in 1874, to Miss Kittie Starr, daughter of Joseph and P. F. (Chapman) Starr. They have four children -- Myrtle Irene, Lewis E., Joseph E. and Fred."
