Born to Richard & Paatsey (Reid) Oldham. She married James W. Woods June 17, 1830 Madison County, Kentucky.
INFORMATION PROVIDED BY CONTRIBUTOR CAMERON HERRELL

Mrs. Woods was well known in and around Adrian, and was loved by all. She was in her 85th year, and was apparently in good health up to within a few days of her death, taking
sick on the 14 th and the dark arms of death carried her away from her beloved ones on the seventeenth. She has crossed over the dark river where there is no sickness or
sorrowfulness, but all is joy, peace and happiness. She leaves seven children, three girls and four boys to mourn her loss. Words are but empty things at best. She has gone
but they may yet hope to see her again. Where there is darkness there is light beyond, and as she has escaped the struggles of this chequered life, who shall say, heavy laden
though we be, is it not better so? That a higher power may console you, lamented children, in your deep sorrow, is the earnest prayer of your many friends.
