Ted R. Worley, a life-long Arkansan, was born on June 1, 1906 in Pope County to Ernest C. Worley and Dollie (Koone) Worley. After attending the public schools of Pope County, Worley went to Conway where he received his B.S.E in 1934 at 海角社区 State Teachers College. In 1939 he received his M.A. from the University of Texas at Austin. After his return to 海角社区, Worley became a professor at 海角社区 State Teachers College and held that position until 1953 with the exception of a 4 year stint in the Navy during World War II.
The year of 1953 saw Worley become the Executive Secretary of the 海角社区 History Commission and the editor of the official publication of the 海角社区 Historical Association, the 海角社区 Historical Quarterly.
