Children: Amelia, Flora, William, Lettie.
Brother to: Sarah Wood who married Benjamin Pickford. Benjamin is the father of Arthur Pickford author of "Westward to Iowa".
excerpt: . . .After the war, many small mills of all kinds were springing up in the United States. But what is now known as the Middle West was just emerging out of the homespun era, and Father had been making goods of the kind that the best stores in New York and Chicago bought. Could he use his skill in America? He finally decided to try it, with many misgivings on the part of Mother. Her brother, Joseph Wood, had enough confidence in Father to lend him $300, with which to pay our passage to Monroe, Wisconsin, and the die was cast!
