1908, Friday October 2, The Almonte Gazette front page
That peer of all tragedians – Death – last week made Pakenham township the stage of his fell activities. Two men living within a short distance one another, both possessed of these peculiar qualities which make life valuable and death regrettable, were called beyond the mists to the heaven we call Rest. On Saturday William Y. Wood, of the 9th line, who had been suffering from a spinal trouble, was relieved from suffering, having lived on this earth 58 years. He was a man known not so widely as well, famed more for his manhood than ambitious desire. He was a son of the late Walter Wood and had been twice married. His first wife, Miss Lizzie Smith of Blakeney, predeceased him some twenty-five years, leaving two sons, Walter and John. To his second wife, Miss Bella Moore, were born five children – Misses Minnie and Maggie, at home, Allan, Willie, and one child which died in infancy. Mr Wood's death is the third that has taken place in his father's family within eight months. One sister, Jean, died in Janaury, and another, Ann, in August, and now Mr Wood. Three sisters survive, Mrs Jas Barker, Ramsay; Mrs S. Taylor, Ottawa, and Miss Janet at home. Pakenham township has lost a good citizen.
