"His life was laborious, benevolent, and beneficient; brief, indeed, but full of intellectual and moral achievements. He has left memorials of his professional eminence in several medical works. The recollection of his private worth is the "heart treasure of thousands.""- (Cincinnati Signal, as quoted by Prof. Delamater.)

Minister of the New Jerusalem Church forty-five years; pastor of the Newton Soc. from 1857 till his decease; General Pastor of the Mass. Ass’n. (?). Vice-President and President of the General Convention of the New Church in America; Principal of Waltham New Church School; Pres. N. Ch. Theological School 1881 to 1894; member of Newton School Board.  He studied at the Lawrence Scientific School of Harvard University, giving attention specially to anatomy, physiology, chemistry and related subject. He was a close student, giving much time and thought to the study of Correspondences, or the relation of the world without to the world within, and the use of Scriptures of natural objects as symbols of spiritual life. As a result of this study he published: The Animals of the Bible; Plants of the Bible, and Physiology Correspondences. Later his thought was given to more conservative interpretations of the Bible, and as a fruit of his study we have "Genesis and Exodus," and "Mathews’ Gospel." He revised many translations of Swedenborg’s works. His work as a preacher was marked by originality of thought, --- his writing being rather suggestive than exhaustive. His manner in the pulpit was quiet in the extreme, his voice gentle, but musical and clear. As a teacher he was lucid and positive in statement, but patient with dissenting views. A record of his life work would be incomplete without reference to his summer home at Intervale, in the mountain region of New Hampshire. Sunday services were held in the little "Study" near his house, and here friends and strangers from a distance would assemble for divine worship and go away refreshed and uplifted with the "Promise of Peace."

To quote from memorial records:

"His career on the bench was marked by faithful, conscientious service. He was firm and steadfast in what he thought was for the interest of the community. He was an upright, incorruptible judge. The testimony of his political opponent in the district is significant. ‘No finer man nor fairer opponent in than Judge Worcester ever lived.’" He was an officer for many years in the New Jerusalem Church, New York City, and loyal in its support. His ashes were interred in the family lot, Hollis, NH. On his monument is the inscription: "The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom I shall fear."

        JOHN HOWARD WORCESTER (John Newton⁷, Jesse⁶, Noah⁵, Francis⁴, Francis³, Samuel², William¹) b Hollis, NH., Jan. 18, 1839, d at Hilton Head, S.C., of wounds received at the assault on Fort Wagner, July 26, 1863. In his boyhood he attended the public schools in Hollis, and afterwards had the benefit of a good academic education. Before the Civil War he had been a student at the law school at Cambridge. In the summer of 1861, he enlisted as a private soldier in Company H, of the Seventh New Hampshire regiment, and upon its organization was chosen Second Lieutenant of his company. In June, 1862, upon the resignation of his First Lieutenant, Lieutenant Worcester was promoted to take his place, and was afterwards constantly in the service of his regiment, in Florida and South Carolina, till his decease at Hilton Head, SC, July 26, 1863. The Seventh regiment was present and took part in the fearful and bloody assault upon Fort Wagner, SC, on the evening of July 18, 1863. Lt. Worcester having succeeded, at the head of his men, in gaining the top of the parapet of the Fort, while cheering them on, was severely wounded in his left leg, so that when order to retreat was given, he was unable to leave the field. Having remained all night on the battle ground, he was taken prisoner, the next morning, carried to Charleston, his leg amputated, and on the 25th he was returned under flag of truce, sent to Hilton Head and put on board a vessel to be sent north with other wounded men. But the following night the gangrene struck his limb, and before morning he breathed his last. When he found he could not live, he calmly resigned himself to his fate, and said to a wounded comrade lying at his side, "Give my love to my men, and say to them that I shall be with them no more, and tell my friends at home all you know of me." His remains were buried at Hilton Head, under military escort, and afterwards disinterred, taken to Hollis and buried in the family cemetery.

In a tribute to his memory on the occasion of his funeral in Hollis, Rev. Dr. Day said of him, "Lieutenant Worcester was just the man the country wanted. Firm in his convictions, active and forcible, he was a right arm of strength in her service. Nature had fitted him for a popular and successful officer. His form was large and commanding. He had a happy faculty of mingling with his men freely and socially, and yet maintaining a complete command , not common in the army - that of respect and love." On his monument in the public square at Hollis is the insciption: "Duty was his guide through life. Clad in her glorious armor, storming the hostile rampart, he fell!" The John H. Worcester Post of the Grand Army in Hollis, composed of his surviving comrades in the war, was so named on its reorganization, from an affectionate and respecful regard for his memory.
