at San Francisco last Thursday. we're
brought to Minden Saturday and the
funeral services were held at the Min
den hall Sunday afternoon. following
private seryics at his home.
Deceased Went To San Francisco
several months ago for medical treat
ment, but his condition was such that
an operation would have hastened
rather than warded off death, he being
afflicted with cancer of the liver
In advanced stages. For six weeks or
more before his death he knew that
he would soon be called upon to leave
family and friends to solve that mys-
terry that lies beyond the grave He
faced the end with remarkable forti-
tude, and through it all, thought not
of his fate, but worried for those who
he was about to leave. He had no
fear of the hearafter. but deeply re-
GREETED the parting with his family
at time when the future held such
bright promises.
Rev. McCreeary of the Presbyterian
Church of Carson, officiated at the
services and took as his text pass
age from the bible that the deceased
had marked few days before being
taken away, and therefore expressed
his belief that he said exactly what
John Wood would have said had he
been able to speak.
After the services the remains were
taken TO Carson for burial and large
number of Carson Valley friends fol-
lowed the remains to their final rest
ing place. At Carson the Woodmen

vices At his home the casket was
buried beneath a bower of beautiful
floral offerings.

ago he entered the mercantile bust

work was recognized by his employer
and few years later when the bust
ness was incorporated, he was made
partner In 1906 the company es-
tablished a branch at Minden and Mr.
Wood was placed in complete charge.
Under his guidance the business grew
and prospered, and later he, with
Vim. Nelson purchased the Minden
branch of the Meyers Mercantile com
pany and renamed it the Wood-Nelson
company. He made many warm
personal and business friends in his
association with the public. principal
E ly through his pleasant nature and
square dealings.
He was a man always interested in
the advancement of local enterprises
and backed sereval of these institu-
tions with his money and energy. He
was treasurer of the Farmers Tele-
phone and Telegraph company since
the incorporation of that company
and but a few days before his death
was reelected as a director and treas
urer of the concern.

His untimely demise is deeply re-
greeted by the people of this Valley,
and their heartfelt sympathy goes out
