George W. Woodson, 63, special officer for the Missouri Pacific, died in Kansas City. Mr. Woodson was born near Longwood, Mo. He was married to Mrs. Pearl Greer Woodson on Feb. 25, 1896. Mr. Woodson had for many years been employed as a special agent and special officer for the Missouri Pacific railroad, working at various points along the system. He always considered Sedalia his permanent home, retained his right to vote here. He had been working in Kansas City for some time and on the morning of his death arose and prepared to go to work as usual. Mrs. Woodson was away from home, visiting relatives in Albuquerque, N.M. Mr. Woodson always reported for work in the company's yards at 6:00 in the morning, a few minutes later 'phoning into the office. Monday morning he did not 'phone as usual and as he was always so prompt about attending to his work, it was believed he might be ill and a call was made to his home. Someone in the apartment said they had heard him up and presumed he had gone to work. A search party went to his home, found him in an unconscious condition, and he died on the way to the hospital. Mr. Woodson leaves his widow, Mrs. Pearl Greer Woodson, three daughters, Mrs. M. E. Green, Mrs. R. E. Purvis of Sedalia and Miss Naomi Woodson, a daughter, of St Louis, also two brothers, A. T.
