was taken into the home Of an olde
sister. She was born in the faith O
the Quakers, or Friends. and the char
seteristics Of these good people WeT,
noticeable in her daily life.
Ohio was her home until after he
marriage TO Alfred Wood, when for
time they resided in Virginia, and late
in Nebraska, and in 1887 they, will
their four children, came to Hood Riv
er, where they have made their homt
since that date. The difference be
tween 0dell then and now is well illus
trated by a statement made by Mrs
Wood while in conversation. "ShC
said, when We came we could see but
two lights in the evening, now We see
more than 20 "
A number of years ago, II think,
the home was saddened by the sudden
death Of a son, Carlos, who was
drowned. and five years ago the hus-
band, Alfred Wood, passed away.
BY nature unassuming the many kind
deeds which those who knew Mrs. Wood
will remember, we've done in a quiet
way and won for her friends whose
regard was lasting. During her last
illness, which was lingering, her suffer
ings were borne unc0mplaningly and
her thoughts were always for the COM
fort of those about her and her interest
IN friends and acquaintances and their
interests was often expressed. Her
daughters, Mrs. S. ID. Fisher, of Mosier,
and Mrs. Byron Rodgers, of Hood Riv-
er, and son. Clinton Wood, of 0deIl. at
tended her and never had mother more
faithful and devoted care.
She is survived by these three child
ren, seven grandchildren, two sisters
and many other relatives and many,
many friends who will be lonely, but
who know that hers has been a life
whose reward is sure. She passed away
Saturday evening. Funeral services
were held Monday forenoon at the
home.
