George W. Woody, Sr., aged 61, a barber well known at many places in the county, was found dead on Friday at the Dan Dutton home at Keene, where he had lived the past few months. He went to Dover last week Wednesday, returning Thursday fore-noon to his room, the last time he was seen alive. The coroner was called from Alma and decided his death came from ptomaine poisoning and that he had been dead from 12 to 16 hours. He was running a barber shop in the rear of the Keene store.
George was born on Snokomo June 15, 1872. He was the son of Peter Littleton Woody, Sr., and Eliza Stover-Woody. He learned the barber trade and had shops at Paxico, Dover, and other places, his last one being in Tipton, Missouri. He worked in Oklahoma several years and was married to Lucille Bryant of Oklahoma City in 1912.
George had a restaurant in Paxico, Kansas, and sold it to his nephew George W. Woody, Jr. February of 1928.
George had many friends. He was honest and square and always tried to do the right thing and harm no one. He was a Christian who tried to live up to his belief and profession.
He leaves three brothers: Doss and Joe of Paxico and John of Maple Hill, also many nieces and nephews.
His funeral was held from the Snokomo M.W.A. Hall Sunday, a mile from where he was born and was in charge of Rev. Thos. Evans of Maple Hill. Mr. and Mrs. John Turnbull, Mrs. J. D. Weaver, Misses Mona and Helen Butefish and Mrs. Steele Remick furnished the music and six of this nephews were pall bearers. There was an unusually large crowd of friends. He was laid to rest in Bethlehem Cemetery.
