John Andrew Woodring
Birth; Sunday December 31, 1876
Death: Wednesday August 17, 1955
78 years 7 months 17 days
John Woodring was born December 31 1876, on his family's farm near Iron Springs, Adams County, Pennsylvania. He was the last of 10 children born to Daniel Woodring (1836-1926) and Mary Ann Andrew Woodring (1833-1908) the farm was mostly bottom land along Toms Creek where they had a small cabin. John and his father farmed the land raising crops and live stock. They also hired out as day labor to other farmers. During the winter months they would harvest timber from the mountain land for processing in nearby saw mills. John spent his entire life on the farm. He lived with and cared for his parents until they died. He never married
His parents raised ten children and one grandchild in the small cabin. The oldest, George Woodring (1857-1937) of Waynesboro was born 3 years before his parents wed. The census of 1860 shows him as George Andrew age 3 in the household of Andrew Bigham with Henrietta Andrew age 23. Mary Andrew is living in Fairfield at a hotel where she is working as a maid. It is possible Henrietta was the mother of George or it may be Mary Ann was his mother. Whatever the circumstances of his birth Mary Ann and Daniel Woodring adopted George early in their marriage. The 1870 census shows him in their household, age 13 with the Wooding name. The other children were as follows: David Woodring (1864-1959), Baltimore; Joseph Woodring (1873-1962), Hanover; Mrs. Henry Sherman (1866-1944), Liberty, Illinois; Mrs. Washington Gladhill (1863-1929), Mrs. Elmer Carbaugh (1870-1932), Aaron Woodring 1867-1946), and John Woodring (1876-1955) all resided in Iron Springs. Elisabeth Woodring (1861-1921) and Rachael Clara Woodring (1869-1870). The couple also raised Rebecca's first born child, Bertha Woodring (1888-1951) along with John.
John was buried with his parents at the Fairfield Union Cemetery.
