Mr. Woodward died at Los Angeles, Cal., January 20, and his body arrived in Oregon City last night. A son, Fred Woodward, who was with his father when death came, accompanied the body north.
Mr. Woodward was born in Vermont, June 1, 1834---84 years ago. After fighting through the Civil war with the Union army, he returned to his native state and married.

He was a member of Meade Post, No. 2, Grand Army of the Republic, and many members of the post will attend his funeral. At one time he was an Oddfellow.
Six children who survive are R. E. Woodward, of Oregon City; Mrs. Will Nisley, Mrs. Joe Mathews and Gilbert Woodward, of Portland; Mrs. Bert Wagoner, of Turner, and Fred Woodward. Twenty-five grand children and 21 great grandchildren also survive.
