Once more the people of Elk City are called upon to mourn the death of an old and honored citizen. On Saturday August 1st, Uncle John Woodring died at his residence in the south part of town after a lingering illness of almost two years. Mr. Woodring was born at Bardstown, Ky., Jan. 12, 1831, and nine years later he removed to Elizabethtown in the same state. In 1847 he enlisted as a soldier and was sent to Mexico, and in the city of Vera Cruz, he was stricken with the intense heat of that tropical climate from the effects of which he never fully recovered. In 1855 he was married to Ellen M. Moore, who with their two children, survive him. With this family he came to Kansas in 1875, first settling on the farm south of town on which Uncle Johnny Borders now lives, and afterwards removing to this city. He united with the M.E. church, South, in 1855, and has been a consistent member ever since. he was also a member of the Masonic fraternity having joined that society in 1852. At the time of his death he was a member of the Carson lodge, No. 132, of this city, and his obsequies were conducted under the auspices of that society, assisted by brethren from Independence and Longton. The funeral services were held at the M.E. church, South, Rev. J.A. Notestine, the pastor, delivering the sermon, after which the remains were followed to their last resting place in Oak Hill cemetery by a large concourse of sympathetic friends. He leaves a wife and two children, Mrs. Nina Bausman, of Coffeyville, and R.J. Woodring who reside with his mother. Mr. Woodring was one of our most respected citizens and his death is universally regretted. The bereaved family have the sympathy of all.
