Woodruff had shot himself with a pistol, the ball taking effect just below and back of his ear and producing instant death. As no one was with him at the time, it is not certainly known whether the shooting was accidental or premeditated; from his position when found, it is thought to have been done intentionally. He was not known to be in any particular trouble, being a industrious and successful farmer. His family has the sincere sympathy of our entire community.
