When taken ill she was visiting her niece and nephew, Dr. and Mrs. Howard Tennent, of Kennett Square, and was on her way here to spend the summer with her brothers and her families, most of whom live in this locality. Mrs. Woods was born in Bradford, Pa., Jun 29, 1879, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Corbett Tennent the eldest child with six brothers. The family came to Caledonia when the children were small, and lived in a large brick house on East Ave. After early schooling in Caledonia she attended Friends' Central, a preparatory school in Philadelphia and Well College, graduating in 1903. As a YWCA secretary she worded in Syracuse and Rochester until her marriage in 1910 to Ralph A. Woos, a young lawyer. They then moved to Tennessee where their two children, Alexander and Isabel were born, and then to oil fields in Louisiana, Texas and Oklahoma. Her husband died in 1936, and since that time Mrs. Woods lived with her daughter, Mrs. Wm. Van Horn in Tulsa. She ofter returned to her beloved Caledonia to stay with her mother, and later with her brother and families; and always when she returned she renewed old friendships and made many new ones. Where ever she went, her church was the center of their life; but always she found time and interest for many other things. When a girl in Caledonia, she organized the Mandolin Club, the Jolly Eight, and a dramatic society. Every old timer remembers the plays she used to put-on in Tennent Part, and Burgess Hall. In Tulsa she was president of the Womens' Organization of the First Presbyterian Church, the third largest Presbyterian Church in the United States. As the city expanded she and her family were active in New John Knox church. Mrs. Woods' interests were many and varied. She was a charter member of the national AAUW in Tulsa, and also of the national Grandmothers' Club. She helped establish the Little Theatre there and was one of its directors, "Blythe spirit" that she was, her friends always found in her a warm and rewarding companionship. When she was taken ill in Kennett Square, her son, Alexander Woods of Oklahoma State Research Department, and her daughter, Mrs. William Van Horn, came to be with her, and she was able to enjoy them for a few days. Besides her son and daughter she leaves four brothers: Elbert and David P. of Caledonia; Kirk of LeRoy, and Donald of Perry; also two granddaughters and three grandsons. On Saturday, June 2, a memorial service was held for Mrs. Woods in the Jenkins Chapel and there will be one later in the John Knox Church in Tulsa. | Tennent, Maude Elizabeth (I4376)

| 3963 | from "The Canadaigua Repository and Messenger", Jun 1874 (fultonhistory.com) Marvin C. Palmer, of Gansevoort, who, some five months since swallowed four false teeth attached to a plate, has from time to time visited several eminent physicians, but the general opinion prevailed among them that there would be no certainty of his surviving the ordeal of an operation for the removal of the teeth. Mr Palmer on Wednesday called upon Dr. McLean, who, after an examination, gave it as his candidate opinion that the operation could be successfully performed. Mr Palmer has about concluded to allow Dr. McLean to attempt the removal of the teeth. His health is gradually failing by reason of the presence of the foreign substance within him. In his present condition he is compelled to take his food in a fluid state, and in such limited quantities that it does not afford him the nourishment desired. It will be remembered the doctor McLean performed a similar operation on a West Troy gentleman, who was entirely successful, the second successful operation of the kind ever performed in this country. | Palmer, Marvin C. (I1156)

| 3964 | from "The Canadian Biographical Dictionary and Portrait Gallery of Eminent and Self-Made Men, Ontario Volume", 1880 The oldest and most successful lawyer in Paris is Henry Hart, son of Phillip Dacres Hart, who was long connected with the East India Company, and retired in the prime of life with a competency, living in London, England, where the son was born, February 16, 1827. The maiden name of his mother was Elizabeth Ann Chase. Both parents were English. When our subject was in his eighth year the family emigrated to Upper Canada; reached St. Catharines in I835, and the next year settled in Brantford. The father died in 1855, the mother in 1876. Young Hart was educated in the schools of Brantford, and in Upper Canada College, at Toronto; studied law with Daniel Brooke, of Brantford; passed examinations at Toronto at Easter term, May 23, 1860, and has been in practice at Paris from that date. He does a general business, Common law, Chancery, Conveyencing, &c., and is one of the most industrious, professional men in the town. He had a good business almost from the start; has the utmost confidence of the people in his integrity as well as his ability, and his profession is quite remunerative. Whatever he undertakes to do, he does thoroughly, and looks well to the interests of his clients. Mr. Hart has held but few offices, his law business being usually about as exacting on his time, we presume, as he cares to have it. He has been a Councilman, Deputy Reeve and Reeve, and we cannot learn that he has held any other office. His ambition seems to be satisfied with being a good and successful attorney at law. His character, in a moral as well as legal sense, stands well. In politics Mr. Hart is known as a staunch Reformer, and he appears to be more willing to help his friends to office, than to accept them himself. In 1856 he married Miss Caroline Perkins, of Brantford, niece of Colonel Charles C. Dixon of that city, and they have three children, all sons. | Hart, Henry (I1910)

| 3965 | from "The Canadian biographical dictionary and portrait gallery of eminent and self-made men", 1880 (ancestry.com) Thomas Wilson, late mayor of Dundas, and one of the leading machinist and manufacturers of the town, was born in Dunbartonshire, Scotland, May 27, 1828. his grandfather was a manufacturer in Glasgow, and his father, Charles Wilson, was a distiller in the old country, and a farmer in Canada. His mother was Margaret McGregor, a descendant of the McGregors and Grahams of Sterlingshire. In the early youth of our subject the family moved to Lanarkshire, where he received a parish school education, and 1843 they all came to Canada West. Thomas learned the trade of a machinist with John Gartshore, of Dundas, commencing at 16 years of age, working twenty-five years for the same man, and managing the machinery department of his shops for sixteen years. Mr Wilson then purchased The Foundry and machine works, and for thirty-six years he has been working in the same building, with some enlargement and alterations from time to time. Business in their line is a little depressed just now, but ordinarily they give employment to seventy-five skilled mechanics, and do business of about $125,000 annually, your specialties being steam engines, boilers and mill machinery, though they make all kinds of machinery. Their market is mainly in Ontario and Manitoba. They do a great deal of marine work for the latter province, and the firm of Thomas Wilson and Co., is nearly as well known in the Valley of the Red River of the North, as in almost any part of Ontario. The old "Dundas Foundry and Engine Works," established more than forthy years ago (1838), were never in better hands or turned out more excellent work. Mr Wilson was connected, many years ago, with an artillery force, being Sergeant-Major of the same, and was Captain of a company of home-guards during the Fenian raids, but has never had occasion to deal in a serious manner with "villainous saltpetre". Some of his most useful work has been done in the municipality of Dundas, he being in the council of number of years, and mayor in 1876, 1877 and 1878. His practical good sense and working qualities cropped out there as well as in his own shops. He also has been of good service at times on the school board, and is a justice of the peace. Though not a rabid politician, nor in this respect very active, Mr. Wilson is an unwavering Reformer, and is president of the local association of his party, and has a high standing in its councils. In religion he is a Presbyterian, and has been one of the managers of Knox church for years. His character stands well, and in religion as well as secular matters is active and efficient. His wife was Miss Agnes Jardine, a native of Renfrewshire, Scotland. They were married June 13, 1851, have lost two children, and have eight living. Charles, the eldest son, is married and lives in Dundas; Mary is the wife of John A. Mcmahon, of Kingston, and the rest are single. | Wilson, Thomas (I5862)

N., of Chatham, Kent, England. He was educated at Rochester, in his native shire, under the late Dr. Whiston, the able author of a work on Cathedral Trusts and their fulfillment, which resulted after many years of litigation in the removal of the abuses which he so ably exposed. Our subject came to this country in 1837, and at once began the study of law under the late Mr. Edmund Burton, then practicing at Ingersoll, in the County of Oxford, Upper Canada. He was called to the Bar in 1841, and began the practice of his profession at the City of Hamilton, then a small town at the head of Lake Ontario, where he continued until his appointment to the Bench; having built up one of the most successful practices west of Toronto, then and now the capital and the seat of law and learning. He was created a Queen's Counsel about the year 1862, and was nominated as a Bencher of the Law Society from about the year 1856, and was re-elected when that body became elective by the profession in 1871. His legal ability received further recognition by his appointment as Judge of the Appeal Court, upon its constitution in 1874, with the late Hon. W. H. Draper, C.B., as Chief Justice, since which time his residence has been at Oak Lodge Toronto. During his professional career Judge Burton had great experience as a railway lawyer, and was engaged as Counsel in a number of important railway cases affecting the interests of the city of Hamilton; and was also City Solicitor for that city for a quarter of a century, and legal adviser to the Canada Life Assurance Company, one of the most successful Life Companies on this Continent, for about the same period. Shortly after his elevation to the Bench, that Company paid him the compliment of electing him as a Director. He was always a most pronounced Reformer, with liberal views in both politics and religion. The Hon. Justice was married on the 9th of June, 1850, to Elizabeth, daughter of the late Dr. Perkins, of Kingston, Jamaica, and niece and adopted daughter of the late Col. Charles Cranston Dixon, of the 90th Regt. | Burton, Sir George William (I1909)

| 3979 | from "The Chariton Leader", 31 Oct 1907 (posted on rootsweb.com) ORIN HAZEN WOODS, eldest son of L.N. and AUGUSTA WOODS was born in this neighborhood Dec. 3, 1869, and grew to manhood on the farm, receiving a common school education in the district school. From 1888 to 1892 he was a student in Simpson College, where by close application he soon became recognized as one of the thinkers of the institution, receiving the honors for the best oration, which entitled him to represent the school in the State Oratorial Contest held at Grinnell, in 1892. A year later he taught school in Utah, then made a voyage to the North Seas. He was appointed Principal of the Woodburn High School in 1896, going to Wyoming, in l897, he was appointed U.S. Court Commissioner and worked at surveying when not engaged in the duties of his office. On May 7, 1901, he was united in marriage to Miss Ola M. Martin, of Woodburn, and at once returned to Basin, to resume the duties of his office. He resigned his position as U.S. Commissioner in 1902 to enter the George Washington University at Washington, D.C., and graduated in law June 1, 1905, the fifth in a class of three hundred students. Returning to Wyoming, he at once began to practice law at Basin, where he proved his ability by an almost phenominal success as a lawyer and man of affairs, having in two years built up a large law practice besides being interested in a number of business enterprises. On October 1, 1907, he was taken sick with typhoid fever and Oct. 20 passed to the Great Beyond where with loving hearts chastened, and bereft by this Providence, we confide him to a loving Father until that glad morning when faith lost in sight, we shall know that which now we cannot understand. To the bereaved wife and to little Carl Hazen, their only child and to the father, four brothers and one sister, the hearts of the entire community go out in sympathy in this hour of sorrow for the loss of a loving husband, father, son and brother, while all who knew him share in their sorrow in feelings of personal loss of a friend, an exemplary citizen and a true and upright man. | Woods, Orin Hazen (I17741)

| 3986 | from "The Chicago Daily Tribune", 27 Jul 1883 (newspapers.com) Members of a Bankrupt Miwaukee Firm Arrested MILWAUKEE, Wis., July 26. - [Special] - A few weeks ago the wholesale and retail carpet house of L.B. Day & Co., this city, made a bad failure, as reported in these dispatches at the time. Something of a sensation has been caused today by the fact that late yesterday afternoon John D. Van Nuys and Walter S. Hamilton, members of the firm, were arrested by Deputy United State Marshal Marshall, on a order of arrest issued by Judge Dyer. This morning the same officer arrested Larkin B. Day, the senior member of the firm. The arrests were all made on the affidavits of Andrew Wright, a member of the firm of W.&J. Sloane, of New York, who charges the members of the firm with wrongfully converting property of the plaintiffs to their own use and of obtaining goods under false pretenses. The parties arrested were allowed to give bail in the sum of $2,500 each. Charles L. Day, the junior member of the firm, is in Minneapolis, and therefore was not arrested. The news of the arrest did not leak out until this afternoon. This firm failed a few weeks ago for about $70,000. Larkein B. Day, after having consulted his attorney, said: "We are not to be tried in the newspapers, but will meet the charges when the proper time arrives. The arrest affects, I believe, only the individual members of the firm responsible for the amount claimed, but does not attack the title of the Receiver who was appointed last month." | Day, Larkin B (I1524)

Avery had been found in a room at No. 211 Madison street, in a dying condition. The man, although alive at the time, was unable to speak a word, and as his appearance indicated that he had passed through a desperate struggle, fears were entertained that he would never recover. He had been in his room from Wednesday afternoon until Saturday morning without food or assistance of any kind. Dr. Gore was notified, and immediately gave orders for Avery's removal to the County Hospital. About 9 o'clock yesterday morning the unfortunate man died in the hospital, and the Coroner was one was at once notified of the fact, and inquest held. Dr. J. R.

The deceased was aged about 37 years. He was born in Detroit, Mich., and served for three years in the late War in the 1st Wisconsin Infantry. He was lately employed in this city as a box-maker at Richie and Duck's Factory, corner of State and Randolph streets.
