"GEORGIA ANNA WORKMAN was a daughter of Benjamin Freelan and Susan Ann (Rogers) Workman. Freelan's father, Reece Workman, brought his family to Pocahontas County about 1875 and settled on Chicken House Run in the area now part of Watoga State Park. Susan (Rogers) Workman was a daughter of George "Moffett" Rogers and his first wife, Mary Ann (Kellison) Rogers."Georgia and Stacy Sayre were married on the Court House steps in Marlinton, Pocahontas County seat.
"Stacy and Georgia lived on the home farm at Etna until the death of Stacy's mother, Alice. Their two sons were also born there.
"Georgia always took pride in her housekeeping, gardening, canning, and being the best mother ever. She was a member of Huntersville Methodist Church and Ladies Aide Society. She later transferred her church membership to the Tennerton Methodist Church. She loved to read and crochet. She created some artistic crochet work and sold many of her creations.
"Georgia's hipbone broke (osteoporosis) in late February 1976, which required some complicated surgery. Instead of operating quickly, she was moved from place to place, and kept in traction before operating. Then when they finally decided to operate, she died from trauma and complications.
"Georgia's death, diagnosed as cardiac respiratory arrest, occurred at West Virginia University Hospital, Morgantown, Monongalia, West Virginia. Burial was in a family plot in Upshur County Memorial Park above Tennerton, near Buckhannon, Upshur, West Virginia. ..."
