DEATH RECORD OF THE WEEK
D. Bruce Wood Follows Closely After
The Death of His Mother, Mrs.
Ann Wood Death of w. p Lord

Ann Wood Death of w. P. Lord
Following closely after the death
of his beloved mother, Donald Bruce
Wood, fourth son of the late William
and Ann Wood, formerly of this
town and vicinity expired suddenly at
Hope Farm, near Wilmington, at
$50 Monday night from tuberculosis
in the 41st year of his age. His !
death occurred within one day of |
a week of that of his mother, Mrs.
Ann Wood who was buried in Smyrna
last Friday. The sad circumstances
of his death has brought forth an
unusual amount of sympathy. Until
three years ago, the deceased was
employed in business at Norfolk,
Va, and was succeeding admirably.
Contracting in some mysterious way
the white plague, he left for Saranac,
N. Y, where for three years he
fought for health and strength.
Last fall he decided to try the
treatment at Hope Farm near Will
mington. He was getting along as
well as could be expected and was
making plans to leave today for the
higher altitude of the west and locate
in Idaho. His sister, Mrs. Nan
Wood Pierson, was to have accom-
panied him. Their plans were about
completed when deceased was sud-
denly taken with hemmorhage and
died. The death of his mother had
a very depressing effect npcn him
and may have superinduced the at
tack. His untimely death is deeply
regretted. Funeral services will be
held at the residence of his brother,
John Wood, at 605 West Harrison
Street. Wilmington, at nine O'Clock
tomorrow, Thursday morning, and
the remains will be brought down on
the noon train to Smyrna and inter-
red in the family lot in Odd Fellows
Cemetery.
