 of Former Citizen

The remains of the late William H. Woodward, whose death occurred ct Weld, Me-, last Friday afternoon, will be inferred at that place tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. This information was con- veyed to Birmingham in telegrams from Eugene Brown and Harvey Woodward after Mrs. William H. Woodward had been consulted and after Harvey Wood- ward, who arrives in Weld today. was advised of the plans by telegraph. The decision to inter the pioneer citizen at Weld, Me, Is said to have been reached after the indisposition of Mrs. Woodward had been taken into consider ation. Following the shock of her hus- bands death, Mrs. Woodward has been very nearly prostrated. It was felt that she could not bear up under the strain in- cident to trip as far as Wheeling, ".

 Funeral to Be Quiet
 ic toto xxr{1I ho quiet. There will only be one or two Birmingham people outside of the near relatives at the obsequies. They will be MT. and Mrs. Eugene l..

 A. II. Rick" Woodward and Mrs. O. W. Underwood, a nephew and piece of the late MT. Woodward, planned to leave yesterday for Weld to attend the obse- quies. but they found that 1t would be impossible to reach the summer home of their uncle in time for the funeral Therefore their proposed trip was aban- doned
 The place of the death of MT. Wood ward is removed several miles from Port | land, Me-, and in order to reach that place a trip through the country would | be necessary. Harvey Woodward, the only child of the late MT. Woodward, who left Elizabethtown, Ky, Saturday noon, will not reach his final destination until some time tonight. He arrives in | Portland today about o'clock Then he goes through the country for several miles, Following the arrival of Harvey Woodward the funeral services will be held.
 Mrs. Woodward Expected Here Mrs. William H. Woodward was to have been in Birmingham this week, as the late Mir Woodward went from his winter home in Florida for her in Weld when he received his fatal illness On this account 1t is expected that she will arrive in Birmingham for the winter some time in December. It is probable that MT. and Mrs. Harvey Woodward will ac- company their mother home. MT. and Mrs. Harvey Woodward were en route to Birmingham at the time of MT. Wood- Wdru ueaIn. They Indy De accompanied by MT. and Mrs. Eugene Brown, who have been with Mrs. Woodward after a short time following the late industrial captains death.
 The immense property holdings of the late MT. Woodward will probably be taken in charge and actively managed by his only son, Harvey Woodward. The business interests of MT. Woodward here are said to have been larger than those Of any single individual in the city. They are being conserved closely pending the arrival of Harvey Woodward and some plans on his part for the future.
