Death of Adam Woods
Adam Woods [died] at the home of his daughter, Mrs. R. [obert] F. [ranklin] Snyder, living east of town Wednesday morning about 8 o'clock. While he had not been in the best of health for the past few weeks, he seemed about as usual on the morning of his death. He arose for breakfast, but did not go down to the table saying he felt a pain in his stomach. Giving a couple of deep breaths he passed quietly away without further warning.
Mr. Woods was born in Highland county, Ohio, Oct. 8,1827, and was 83 years old last October. He moved in early life to Illinois, and in 1876 came to Taylor county, Iowa, settling on the farm east of town now owned by C. B. Wysong. For several years past he has made his home with R. [obert] F. [ranklin] Snyder.
About 1849 he was united in marriage to Miss Eliza Jane Boatman, and together they buffeted life's waves for more than a half-century, she passing away in June 1906. Three children were born to them, two of whom still live. They are Mrs. R.[obert] F. [ranklin] Snyder and John H. Woods, living, and Maggie Payton, deceased. He also leaves a sister about 90 years of age, living at Mt. Pleasant, Iowa.
The deceased was a member of the M. E. church of this city, and was a true Christian. Nearly all the time he resided in Clayton Township he was a justice of the peace of that township. In public affairs he took a great interest and was a constant reader and student of current topics. As a man and neighbor he was esteemed, and as a father, husband and friend he was loved.
The funeral services will be held tomorrow, Friday, at 10 o'clock, from East Mission church, conducted by Rev. Fred N. Willis, assisted by Rev. D. McMasters. The remains will be brought to Bedford for interment in Fairview cemetery. The bereaved relatives have the sympathy of all.
