• Notes

  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.
