Death of a Well Known Auburnian at Geneva, Switzerland
A cablegram was received Friday a.m. by Mrs. Paul C. Woodruff, of 48 South Street, announcing the death of her husband at Geneva, Switzerland, Thursday. The cause of death was apoplexy. The deceased had been in poor health for some time past. Last year he spent some time at Carlsbad and improved so much that he returned this summer and was on his way to Paris to return home when he was stricken with apoplexy Thursday. The news of his demise was received with sorrow about town, and was a severe shock to his wife and family who will have the sympathy of the community.
Mr. Woodruff was a man of marked social qualities and had the rare faculty of making friend where ever he went. He will be greatly missed by a wide circle of friends in Auburn.
Paul Cook Woodruff was born at Cohocton, Steuben County, June 11, 1833. He was a son of the late Hermon Woodruff, an old and highly respected resident of this city, who came to Auburn in 1834 and resided here up to the time of his death. Paul spent the greater part of his life in Auburn with the exception of a few years he spent in travel. He was a volunteer in the late war and for a time served as paymaster for the old 19th New York regiment. After this, he was a volunteer aid and a non commissioned officer on the staff of General Weitzel during the New Orleans and Red River Campaign. He was fond of adventure and loved to travel. In 1864, he was married to Miss Caroline Beardsley, daughter of the late Nelson Beardsley, of this city. Of his immediate family he leaves his devoted wife and one daughter, Mrs. Alice Beardsley Hills of this city: two brothers, E. Delevan Woodruff and J. Hermon Woodruff, and one sister Mrs. Henry D. Titus, all of this city. The remains will be brought to this city for interment.
