The Wilmington daily Republican., 1895-10-08
Rocklnnd Letter.

We learn with regret that George X.
Woodward anticipates moving from our
neighborhood next spring. For thirty
years Mr.. Woodward has ocou pied one OF
the DUPONT farms near Montchanin. and
has been succeessful in his calling. In an
interview with him he stated that the Du
Points we're tine people and be had nothing
against them and SO far as ha knew They
held the best OF feeling toward him, but
no had been with them long time and
now felt TINT aa he was on the shady eide
of life and II he ever intended to own any
land he wBn.sd to own it now. He has
therefore purchased the handsome as
we'll as the productive farm, owned and
occupied by tho late Ex- marshal Charlos
Newiin to which lie proposes to move.
To llatter unduiy Is something We have
no desire to do whatever. but we lind just
a few men among mankind OF whoIa all
men speak we'll, and one of ths few Is our
friend and nelghbor George X. Woodward
with whom We have the honor OF being
personally acquainted for about ia qnar-
ter OF Il century and In all that time we
have known him to be man OF sterling
integrity, n man that always has good
word for every one. nnd even better than
that, always friend to the friendless and
a hel per to tho needy. No worthy subject
is ever sent away feom Mr.. Woodward's
door without being first relieved. SO
much for the moral side OF our iriend's
life.
We would say here that the friend of
whom we endeavor to write has been for
many years an ardent and leadlng mem.
ber of Lower Brandywne Presbyterian
Church. He was for twenty years super
inlendent OF the Sunday school of The
church. When he was asked where he
would hold mis- church membership he
replied that 1t would be quite unhandy
for him but he would never leave The
church to which ne now belongs. Mr. w.
is one OF the best posted men on the Bible
that we know of.
