Obituary of WOOD, Arminta Frances  Jefferson County, KS 1909

The Perry Mirror, Jefferson County, Kansas, October 28, 1909

Arminta Frances Wood, much beloved and well known citizen of Jefferson Co., 
Kansas, and who departed this life on Sunday, October 17, 1909, was born 
October 22, 1830, in Kentucky and immigrated to the state of Missouri at the 
age of 10 years, and was joined in holy bonds of matrimony to Gideon Jerome 
Wood, at the age of 18 years.

To this union there were born seven sons and four daughters; of this number, 
five sons and three daughters survive her. She was left a wido about 17 years 
ago, and remained the same until the end came.

Sister Wood became a member of the old school Baptist church about the year of 
1868 or 1870, and was baptized by Elder W.F. Jones, and she adorned her 
profession by holding to the faith until her final departure of this life. In 
her death the family has lost a dear mother, and the neighborhood, a noble 
neighbor, and the church, we feel we say, a noble member. We pray the good Lord 
to comfort the bereaved.

Elder A.D. Jones of Topeka spoke words of comfort at the funeral, to a large 
audience, who mourned her loss.

We love her, yes we loved,
But the angels loved her more,
And they have sweetly called her
To yonder shining shore.

The golden gates were open,
A gentle voice said come,
And with farewell unspoken,
She calmly entered home.
A Friend.
