Ashland Progress
News reached Ashland Wednesday of the death of S.H. Woods, familiarly known as 
"Uncle Sam which occurred at his home in Talladega at an early hour Wednesday 
morning. While Mr. Woods was living at Talladega at time of death, he had only 
been there a few months, having moved there from Millerville in this county, 
where he had lived for many years and roared a large family. He was about seventy 
years of age and had led an active and useful life. We are informed that as a 
Confederate soldier he possessed unusual courage and fought in the famous battle 
of Gettysburg. The remains were brought Millerville for interment and the funeral 
services were held there yesterday afternoon and were attended by a large 
assembly of relatives and friends.
