      Clarence Ord Wood, oldest son of Wellington Wood, died at his father's home in Mayville in Thursday evening, August 27, after an illness of a few weeks. He was born in West Salem in 1869 and was a little more than twenty-seven years of age. He was a highly respected young man. His funeral was held at the Maysville Baptist church, Sunday, at 10 a.m. and the largest gathering seen there for many years. Rev Davis preached the funeral sermon. The body was interred in the Shenango Valley cemetery.

      The funeral of Mr. Ord Wood, last Sunday, at Maysville, was attended by a large number of people. By actual count there were 252 rigs in the procession and one thousand persons reviewed the remains. Mr. J. H. Stright, the gentlemanly undertaker, conducted the funeral to the entire satisfaction of the family and friends.

      Clarence Ord Wood, eldest son of Wellington Wood, died at his father's home in Maysville, Thursday evening, Aug. 27, in his 28th year. He was sick only a few weeks. He had a wide acquaintance, and all who knew him held him him in high esteem. His funeral was conducted at the Maysville Baptist church Sunday, at 10 a.m. by Rev Davis, and was the largest gathering known for years in that vicinity, three or four hundred people being unable to gain admission to the crowded church. He was laid to rest in our beautiful Shenango Valley cemetery.
