Biographical History
Edwin B. Worthen (1879-1956) was a Lexington resident and businessman who thoroughly immersed himself in the Town's past history and current affairs. He was an avid researcher and collector of materials on every aspect of life in Lexington. He was involved in town activities his entire life, from participating in the Lexington Drum Corps in the 1890s to serving as President of the Lexington Savings Bank until his death. He was active in the Lexington Historical Society, led or served on numerous Town boards and committees, and wrote a weekly column, "Things to Remember," in the Lexington Minuteman newspaper on topics of historical interest. Edwin B. Worthen, Jr. (1913-1976) was a life-long resident of Lexington who followed in his father's footsteps when it came to his interest and involvement in Lexington's past, present and future. He graduated from MIT in 1936 and was an architect for Leland and Larson in Boston for many years. He was active in Lexington town government, was a charter member of the Lexington Chamber of Commerce, a trustee of the Lexington Savings Bank, and a member of the town's 250th Anniversary celebration committee, Historic Districts Commission, and Lexington Historical Society. Anita P. Worthen (1913-2008), a Lexington native and trained librarian, was tireless in her support of her father-in-law's and husband's historical endeavors - as well as her own. She served as secretary and curator of the Lexington Historical Society for many years. After the Worthen Collection was donated to Cary Library in 1976, she assisted staff with organizing the materials, and supported activities related to access, preservation and security.
