Brother James L. Wood was born on March 10, 1838, and died on April 10, 1911. It was a sad day to all to give him up. He leaves a wife and seven children six sons and one daughter, all of whom have obeyed the gospel, except one. Brother Wood was a minister of the gospel for thirty-five years. All of this time was spent in Missouri, except eight years in Roger Mills County, Okla., where he set in order seven congregations. He was loved by all that knew him. He had not an enemy on earth, only as they are called the enemies of Christ.
He was a dear husband, a devoted father, and a helpful neighbor, and tried to do all the good he could for the cause of Christ. He will always be in our memory while we live. Just before he died he spoke of his dear children, his brethren in Christ, and those who had just obeyed the gospel. He was faithful to the cause of Christ, and was willing to go and be present with the Lord. We will miss his godly conversation, but we feel that our loss is his gain, for we know that “the dead which die in the Lord” are blessed. He always read the Gospel Advocate, and said he could not do without it. He was not able to work for a long time before he died, and he loved to read. Funeral services were held at Macedonia, near Stella, after which his body was laid to rest till the coming of Christ.
