 This is one of the oldest families of the district and one of those whose members through the passing years have maintained the integrity of the name which has stood for honorable mention in the community.
 The Birmingham branch is de- scended from obediah Washing ton wood, who was born in the Green vile district of South Carolina in 17es.
 His son. Edmond Wood came to Alabama in 1924 and settled in Jones valley in the vicinity of Huffman. He was a pioneer in & wilderness, with only one store and one church any where near. That church was the Ruhama Baptist, said to be one of the oldest around Birmingham and still existing in later building.
 In the family of Edmond Wood were II sons and one daughter.
 Woodlawn, which was formerly called Wood station, was named for a second Obediah. So numerous did the members of the family become that at one time it was said every one at Woodlawn was either a Wood. or re- lated to the Woods by marriage, or wanting to be so related.
 The only remaining members of the original family are: Mrs Mary Frances Truss and her brother, D.. Felix. Wood, who are familiarly and affectionately known in their com- munities as Aunt Fannie and Uncle
