This appears to be the husband of Delilah (Kashow) Wood. I can't find anything to confirm both men were the same man. If this is the same man, he was born Charlebois and changed his name to Wood (Bois), and was the father of Sofia Charlebois Wood Gallo, wife of Fortune Gallo.

The Suicide of Wood.
An inquest was held yesterday in the case of Charles C. Wood, the saloon-keeper who died from coal gas asphyxiation in his home at California and Steiner streets. The testimony showed that he was very despondent and had frequently threatened to end his life. "Suicide" was the verdict when rendered by the Coroner's jury.

HE TOOK GAS.
Saloon-Keeper Charles Woods Ends Life Without Pain.
Charles C. Woods, proprietor of the saloon at the northwest corner of California and Steiner streets, committed suicide yesterday by inhaling illuminating gas.
Woods retired at a late hour Thursday night, without saying anything as to his intentions. At 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon he had not appeared; so his barkeeper, B.T. Goodman, became alarmed, and going to his employer's room, found him dead in bed.
The room was full of illuminating gas, which was escaping from two jets. The body was taken to the Morgue.
Woods' wife died four months ago, and his bereavement so preyed upon his mind that he lost all interest in his business and longed for death. He was born in Canada and was aged 50 years old.
[Delilah died a month before, not 4 months.]
[note: originally interred IOOF Cemetery; moved to Greenlawn per their records]
*voter registrations have him as "Charles Charles Wood" born in Canada, and naturalized in California on 7/7/1884 in SF California Supreme Ct.
(16th Pct, 41st Assembly District, San Francisco Co., CA) I guess that would be the "Americanized" version of Charles Charlebois.... Charles Charles Wood, since a Charlebois descendant did say "Wood" was "Bois."
