Bartlett Woods Bio
Lake County, Indiana


                         Hon. B. Woods

   May 25, 1836, Bartlett Woods left London, England. He landed
at New York and came to Michigan City in August. In March, 1837,
he made a claim in Lake County, on which he commenced improvements
in the spring of 1838. He married the daughter of Samuel Sigler,
also an early settler. With the exception of two years spent in
Chicago, he has been a continuous resident on his farm. He holds
for it, as a claim, one of the very few claim-entry certificates
now to be found. For a number of years, being intelligent, talented,
and a ready speaker, he has been a prominent man in the community.
He held for two terms the office of County Commissioner. He was
our representative at Indianapolis in the State Legislature in 1861
and again in 1865.
   For the last three years he has been President of the Agricultural
Society.
