• Notes

  from "The Greenville Evening Record", 7 Dec 7 1922 (newspaperarchive.com) Back after many years Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Woods, of Grinnel, Iowa, are visiting relatives in the vicinity of Greenville. Wellington Woods, of West Salem, is a brother, as is Lyman Woods, of Polk. Mr. Woods has not been in Greenville for 37 years and it is 41 years since Mrs. Woods was here. from "The Grinnell Herald Register", 12 Dec 1925 (grinnell.lib.ia.us) CHARLES SHERMAN WOODS CLOSES LIFE'S JOURNEY Charles Sherman Woods, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Woods was born in Mercer County, Pa., Sept. 27, 1857 and passed away at his home in Grinnell, Thursday, Dec. 10 at the age of 68 years, 2 months and 13 days. His boyhood days were spent in the Pennsylvania home where he attended the common schools. At the age of 19 he came to Marshall County, Ia., where he engaged as a butter-maker. In 1879 Mr. Woods was married to Margaret Ella Graham, and the young couple began housekeeping near Marshalltown. They continued to reside in Marshall county until they moved to Grinnell twenty years ago where they have resied since. For the past five years Mr. Woods has been tin the emply of the Rock Island Railway. Eight children came to bless the home, five sons: Graham, Laird, Archie, Fred and Clarence and three daughters: Zella, Grace and Hallie. All of these are living. In addition to the devoted wife Mr. Woods has two brothers living: J.W. of Andover, Ohio, and Lyman B. of Polk, Pa., and seven grand children. The deceased was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He was a man of quiet unassuming ways, kindly and courteous, and always thoughtful and considerate of others. He was a good neighbor, a worthy citizen, and was deeply devoted to his home and his interests. It means the passing of a good man who will be sincerely mourned by all who knew him. The funeral, conducted by Rev. W. B. Wilson was held at the home on Main Street at 4 o'clock Sunday. The body was taken to State Center, Monday forenoon for burial. Those attending the funeral from out of town were J. W. Brison of Plainville, Kansas, Mr. and Mrs. Geo Coburn, Mrs. H. W. Ogan, Miss Ross Stacy and Mr. and Mrs. Eli Lane of Marshalltown, Mrs. Henry Sanderman of Owatonna, Minn., Mr. and Mrs. Fred Woods and Graham Woods of Davenport, Ia., Dr. and Mrs. L. Woods and daughter of Malcom and Clarence Woods of Marshalltown, Iowa.
