Death of Jennings Postmaster.
E. E. Woodland, aged postmaster at
Jennings, died early on Sunday morn
ing at his home in Jennings. Mr..
Woodland went to Jennings when the
town was flourishing during the lum-
Der days when Jennings Brothers were
operating their large saw mill at that
place. After the lumber operations
ceased he stayed, accepting whatever
employment offered and was given the
postmastership some years ago, which
he retained until the time of his sud-
den death. 1t is stated that no assis-
tant postmaster had been appointed,
thus leaving the office entirely vacant.

on Tuesday afternoon, Rev. E. E.

Interment was made in the Grantsville
cemetery. He is survived by his wife
