Deputy Factory Inspector for the Passaic
county district. The Passaic legislative
delegation failed to unite on any one man,

Person in wheeling.
Mrs. Catherine Foster Woods, aged
one hundred and one years, six months
and one day. passed away yesterday
morning at four o'clock at the home OF
her daughter, Mrs. Anna Comerford,
on South Chapfine street. Her death
was caused by old age. She was never

treme old age.
Mrs. Woods was born on the borders
of Scotland in the year 179S. Her fam
lily emigrated to this country when
she was twenty-three years of age.
They settled in Baltimore, where
afterward she married Robert
Woods, an English Quaker. From
Baltimore Mr.. and Mrs. Woods moved
to Cameron. W. Va, where they re-
manned for some time. Later about
1858, Mr.. Woods removed his family
to Wheeling, where Mrs. Woods has
lived ever since.
Four children survive her, three
sons and one daughter. The sons are
all located In the west, the oldest of
whom, Charles R. Woods, seventy-five
years of age, is in the wholesale bard
ware business in ST. Paul. Her daugh-
ter Mrs. Comerford. lives in the city.
