"Father Came West" by Oello Ingraham Martin, Farlington History. Vol 31, 1994 Page 156

Mothers' daughters were all married now, but my two brothers were single until 1900, when Charles married Effie Wortley. She lived with her family, on a farm three miles east of Farlington.

Her father was English and especially interest in nursery stock. He sold lots of trees and shrubs around Farlington. He put out an orchard and sold fruit, also.

Effie Wortley was an accomplished young lady and she and Charles had been keeping company many years. Now he was established in his harness and collar business in Hastings, Nebraska, and came back for his girl.

Effie was crippled, one leg shorter than the other. She was very small in stature, but very bright, and sociable, and interested in people, clubs, and church. She was well educated and taught for nine years.

She was a great help to Charles as he had refused to go to school much and never did like to write letters or keep books. They went to housekeeping in Hastings in 1900. Page 218

Dick and I tried to think of all the teachers who had been residents in Farlington. We counted 78 including five in Mother's family. The names which come to me now besides our own family are Effie Wortley.

C. G. Ingraham
Is Dead

Death of Former Mayor Follows That
Of Wife by 19 Days

Charles G. Ingraham, 74, three time mayor of Hastings and a resident of this city for more than 40 years, died at 12:45 o'clock this noon at the Mary Lanning Memorial Hospital, just 19 days after the death of his wife on December 3.

Mr. Ingraham's health had been failing for some time and four days after the death of Mrs. Ingraham he entered the Mary Lanning Memorial Hospital. He and Mrs. Ingraham came to Hastings from Kansas following their marriage there in 1900, continue to make their home here since. For a number of years, Ingraham worked for the Dutton and Company harness factory, serving as foreman of the collar department. Ingraham was first elected mayor in 1913. He was elected twice more to the same office at intervals of 10 years, in 1923 and in 1933. It was during this last term that considerable improvement and expansion was undertaken at the water and light plant. His last candidacy was in the spring of 1935 when he was defeated by William Harm. Mr. Ingraham also served at one time as a revenue collector on truck transportation crossing the Nebraske-Kansas border.  (https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/5636105/charles-gallahue-ingraham)
