    • from "The Atlantic (IA) newspaper", 27 Jan 1899 (posted on findagrave.com by Nancy Woods)
      Volentine C Woods was born in Allegheny, Pennsylvania, on December 1st, 1810. At the age of four years, his parents moved to Indiana where he lived for thirty-eight years. While living in Indiana, he married Miss Mary Neeley August 10th, 1830. To this union were born 13 children, eight boys and five girls, of those children 9 are living, four with the wife having proceeded the father and husband to the spirit world. Brother Woods was converted and joined the Methodist Episcopal Church when about twenty-five years of age and remained a communicant the remainder of his life. He was class leader and Sunday School Superintendent for years in West Liberty, Iowa where he held membership. The family moved from Indiana to a farm near West Liberty in Muscatine County, Iowa in 1852 where they lived until the year 1871, when he and his wife came to Clarke County, Iowa where the wife died. In 1884 he came to Cass County, Iowa and made his home with his son, Perry Woods, the remainder of his life. Brother Woods was a man of jovial and cheery disposition, beloved and honored by all who knew him and his goodness and cheer scattered sunshine about him. To his children, five of whom were present in his last hours, he expressed himself that all was well with him and that he was at peace with God and that there was no regrets only he had not been faithful in the last eight years of his life as he would have liked to have lived. Then passed away a veteran of the cross of Christ and like a true soldier regreting that he could not be in active service of his blessed master. He died after a lingering illness of about seven weeks of heart failure January 25th, 1899, age 88 years 1 month and 25 days. Funeral services were held at the residence of Perry Woods at 10 AM, February 27th, 1899, conducted by Rev. R.C.F. Cambers, Pastor of the M.E. Church of Wiota. After the services the remains were taken to Ottawa, Clarke County, Iowa and laid to rest beside his departed wife. They rest from their labors and their works do follow them.
