(Cedartown Standard, Oct. 9, 1902) 
Mr. Springer Wood, died at his home in this city yesterday afternoon at 6 
o'clock, and the remains will be laid to rest in the city cemetery this 
afternoon at 3:30 o&rsquoclock. The funeral service will be conducted by Rev. 
C. K. Henderson at the residence on the corner of Main and Gibson streets, and 
the interment will be under the direction of the local camp of Confederate 
veterans. Mr. Wood was born in 1838 in Harris County, and moved to Polk with 
his father in 1849. He joined the Confederate army at the outbreak of the Civil 
War, as a member of Capt. H. F. Wimberly's Company in Phillips' Legion, and 
served four years as a brave and gallant soldier. In 1867 he was united in 
wedlock with Miss Susie Janes, six children blessing their union, all of whom 
with the bereaved widow survive the husband and father. Mr. Wood was a member 
of the Baptist church, and was a clever citizen. He had many friends and 
relatives in Polk County and elsewhere in Georgia, and the surviving members of 
his family have the sympathy of the community in their sad loss. (Cedartown
