Jackson Progress Argus - Butts County Ga.
J. N. Woodruff Died Monday Night

At his home in McDonough, at 10:30 o’clock last Monday night, Mr. J. N. 
Woodruff breathed his last.

As has been previously announced, he suffered an attack of pneumonia bout two 
weeks ago, the serious nature of which caused grave apprehensions of family 
and friends from the beginning, and when the end came it carried a pall of 
sadness to his large circle of friends.

Mr. Woodruff was a remarkable man in many respects.  His last spell of 
sickness was his first, having never been confined in bed from illness a day 
in his life.  He was always cheerful, genial, liberal, ever ready to 
accommodate, and possibly no man ever extended more an freer  favors than 
did “Uncle Pomp” Woodruff.  Consequently he was a general favorite and one of 
the characters greatly missed and mourned by community in his departure.

Mr. Woodruff came from Covington to McDonough twenty-five or thirty  years 
ago, making scores of friends here from the beginning.  He is survived by his 
widow, four sons, Messrs. Jim, Tom, Otis and Idus Woodruff, and two daughters, 
Mrs. Comer Woodward, of Chicago, and Mrs. Verna Wright, of Jackson, all of 
whom were present at his bedside.

Funeral services were conducted by Rev. H. S. Smith from the Methodist church 
at 11 o’clock Wednesday morning, with interment in McDonough cemetery.  Henry
