| 4051 | from "The Clarinda Herald", 27 Nov 1889 (clarinda.advantage-preservation.com) WILSON WOODS was born in Mercer Co., Pa. Dec. 25, 1842, and died Nov. 24, 1889, of heart disease, aged 46 years, 10 months, 29 days. He was married to Miss Mary Ellen VanArsdol Aug. 27, 1868. He united with the Presbyterian church in Clarinda in April, 1865. In 2865 he was elected deacon, in which office he served the church with fidelity even unto the end. He died, as he had lived, a quiet, ostentatious Christian. He said to his friends, "If this is death, then there is nothing terrible in dying;" and again "I am just on the border of eternity." For some years he was a member of the choir, and on Sabbath afternoon some of those who had been associated with him in it, met at his bedside and sang to him as he moved off the shore of time, some of the familiar and sweet songs of the Lord's House. ... Peace be to his memory. | Woods, Wilson W (I1465)

| 4054 | from "The Clarinda Herald". 2 Nov 1925 (clarinda.advantage-preservation.com) The passing of William Norris Woods, on Oct. 27th at his home on W. Clark Street, closes the life career of one of the earliest settlers of this section or country. Mr. Woods helped to lay out the city of College Springs, being there before houses had been built, and years ahead of any towns as Clarinda or Shenandoah. He came in the days when the covered wagon route was the most popular means of travel, and when the railway had been built only 25 miles this side of the Mississippi River, it being necessary to make the trip from Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, to Page County in a buggy or wagon. The first settlers to the present site of College Springs came as a committee from Monmouth, Ill., to choose a site for a college. Finding the fine spring of never failing water there, gave the name "Springs" to the town, and as they shortly after started Amity College at the new settlement, the town was names College Springs. Then came Mr. Woods, forming part of the vanguard of civilization, religion. and education in this country. Two years later in 1859 the Dow family came to become a part of the settlement. One member of the Dow family was Miss Mary Elizabeth Dow, who was married in 1859 to William N. Woods, and lives at the home in Clarinda surviving her husband. As time passed, children were born into the home. but all have passed over except the daughter, Miss Melicent Woods, who survives to be the protector of her mother. But the family have not lived in this vicinity all these years. Early in life Wllliam Woods had joined the Free Presbyterian Church, at their home back in Pennsylvania. The name Free came from their being enemies to slavery, which then existed in the south. When the movement started toward Kansas, struggling to make the new state free instead of slave, the William Woods family moved to Kansas, and have lived in other places, including Kentucky. They came to Clarinda in 1886, and have lived in Page County during the intervening years. Mr. Woods was born December 8, 1829, being thus not quite 96 years of age. He comes from a long lived, family having a sister who died last spring at the age of 87, while his grandfather died and was burled in Clarinda at the age of 92 years. Two of his brothers are living, Prof. J.A. Woods of Ellisport, Wash., who was former superintendent of schools in Clarinda and an early school teacher here and L.P. Woods now resident at Kirksville. Mo. Funeral services for William N. Woods were held Friday morning from the Harmon Funeral Home, conducted by the Rev. Alfred T. Bishop, D.D., the Presbyterian church here being without a regular pastor at this time. Interment was in Clarinda cemetery. | Woods, William Norris (I1461)

| 4055 | from "The Clarinda Journal", 7 Apr 1927 (posted on findagrave.com) James Alfred Woods was born Feb 7, 1835, on a farm near Greenville, Mercer county, Penn., and remained on his father's farm until he reached the age of twenty-one. He then entered Marietta College at Marietta, Ohio, where he received his college education. In 1862 he came to Clarinda, Iowa, to accept the position of teacher in the public schools. July 4, 1864, he was married to Esther Irene Hill in Marietta, Ohio, and returned to Clarinda with his bride. From this union two children were born, Charles E. Wood of Ellesport, Wash., who survived him, and Etta Ollieretta, who passed away some five years ago. Prof. Woods, who began his teaching in Clarinda in the lower grades, was at the close of the first year promoted to the principalship and later to be city superintendent of the city schools. His connection with the schools were a total of thirty school years with two short intervals when he was otherwise employed. Prof. Woods organized the first public school system in Red Oak, Iowa, where he taught for two years in the early seventies. He also taught seven years in Keithsburg, Ill., which closed his teaching experience. Esther Irene Woods departed this life in June, 1916. Dec 30, 1917, Prof Woods was married to Mrs Josephine Berry Crickenbarger. Prof. Woods continued to reside in Clarinda until March, 1924, when he and Mrs Woods joined their son, Charles, at Ellesport, Wash., where they spent the remainder of their lives. Prof Woods departed this life March 22, 1917 [sic,1927] at Ellesport, Wash., and his wife passed away two days later. Funeral services were held in Washington and a Memorial service was held for both Mr and Woods in the Presbyterian church at Clarinda on April 3, 1927, and the ashes of both were laid to rest in the Clarinda cemetery, according to the expressed wish of each. Prof Woods was an active member and worker of the first Presbyterian church from 1862 until his {???} strength prevented further work. He was for many years an elder in this church. Prof Woods' great life work was among his students, who are scattered through many states and lands, and their esteem of him is the greatest monument that could be erected to him. In the affections of those who knew him he still lives. | Woods, James Alfred (I1462)

| 4073 | from "The Concord New Hampshire Patriot and State Gazette", 18 Jul 1836 (genealogybank.com) In Texas, in March last, Mr. Joseph Perkins, son of Dea. James Perkins of Londonderry, N.H. aged 24. This young man like may other has fallen a prey to the violence of war in Texas. He was connected to the Regiment of Col Fannin, and either was slain in the battle or cut down on the 27th of the month in the cold and ruthless butchery of that day. Whether engaged in actual service as a regular, or a volunteer; or whether, in travelling through that country, he sought the protection of that regiment at Fort Goliad, is still doubtful. In the last communication he made to his friends, he observed that he was interested in the cotton expedition, and should touch at Texas if there was not too much danger. In a letter from a townsman in Mississippi, there is melancholy reason to believe that, if he survived the battle, he was one of the 412 young men who were victims of the most heartless and faithless massacre of modern times. In either case, a wound of no ordinary kind is inflected upon his fond parents, and a large circle of surviving friends. | Perkins, Joseph (I17451)

Damon, Pastor of the Church, on Sunday, July 23, 1876 It has been only a few years since a minister might remain longer than two years on the same charge. The first minister was Joseph Pearsall, receiving his appointment to the old Circuit from the Genesee Conference in 1832. This brother, from the commencement of his ministry, labored under embarrassment, owing to a severe sickness, from the effects of which he never recovered. He labored for more than thirty years in the active ministry. It was said of him, that few were more laborious or more successful. In 1860 he was transferred to the Rock River Conference, but soon after found his health not improved by the change, and returned to the East Genesee Conference, resuming his work with the earnestnest and efficiency of former years. But soon thereafter, his superannuation was necessitated, because of failing heslth, and on the 22d of September, 1865, he died. His name and work will long be remembered. from "The Troy Daily Times", 26 Sept 1865 (fultonhistory.com) Rev. J. Pearsall, of Dansville, Livingston county, committed suicide on Thursday last, by throwing himself into a well, during a paroxysm of insanity. He was taken out within a few minutes, but had received injuries of such a character as to produce death within a short time.
