I do know not know who wrote this.

Henry Worthington was born 15 December 1815 at Copson Magna, Warwickshire, England, the son of Thomas Worthington and Letitia Iliffe. He worked at a variety of jobs during his lifetime, and while working as a servant he met Mary Ison. Henry and Mary married on 11 January 1843. Henry became the father of Thomas, John, Harry, Jane, Charles, and Mary. In the 1860s, Henry and Mary separated over the question of emigrating to America. In 1868, Henry joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and married another recent convert, Mary Ann Docker.

The couple sailed for America and settled in Brooklyn, New York, where they had six daughters born to them. Henry became quite crippled and had difficulty supporting his family, and Mary Ann's family missed her and kept coaxing her to return to England. In 1890, Henry's son, Harry, passed through New York on his way home from a mission to Great Britain. Henry and his family accompanied Harry to Utah. Henry obtained a house on Capitol Hill and lived there until his death on 29 December 1899 of chronic bronchitis. He is buried in the Salt Lake City Cemetery.
