| 4005 | 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)

| 4012 | 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)

| 4050 | from "The Clarinda Herald", 2 Jan 1919 (clarinda.advantage-preservation.com) Alger W. Woods. His friends here were very much shocked last week to learn of the accidental death of Alger W. Woods, a former resident of Clarinda. His death is much regretted and the sorrowing relatives have the heartfelt sympathy of the community. He died through the collapse of a fourth story floor in a large sugar factory in Idaho, when a belt went wrong in the factory in which he was working. He was hurled to the ground forty feet and instantly killed. The remains arrived here Monday afternoon for the funeral and burial. Alger W. Woods was born near Clarinda, Iowa, Oct. 13, 1879; died at Shelley, Idaho, Dec. 26, 1918. In early boyhood he became a member of the Presbyterian church of Clarinda. When about 18 years of age he went to Meridian, Idaho. There he transferred his church membership to the Methodist Episcopal church of that place, and was at the time of his decease a faithful and consistant member of the Methodist Episcopal church. Later in life he returned to Clarinda and became the manager of the coal mine then owned by the late Isaac Van Arsdol. He was married to Bessie May Bridges, May 9, 1905. His wife and two children, Dorothy Margaret and Wilson Alger, survive him; also, his mother, Mrs. Mary E. Woods; a brother and four sisters, Oliver N. Woods, Mrs. Roy Herren, Mrs. G. M. McKee, Mrs. Ray C. Baird and Mrs. Alfred Jones. His father, Wilson Woods, passed to the better world Nov. 24, 1889. He was an affectionate husband, an indulgent father and a true friend. His outstanding characteristics were, honesty of purpose and an unswerving loyalty to what he believed to be right. The world is better for his having lived in it. The funeral services were held at the home of his sister, Mrs. G. M. McKee, South Sixteenth street, Clarinda, at 2:30 p.m., Dec. 31, 1918, conducted by Rev. M. M.
