WOODS, Judge William H.

Judge William H. Woods, aged 70 years, died at his home near Webbville, this 
county, early on the morning of Friday, Jul 19, 1912, after a lingering illness 
caused by a disease of the stomach. The funeral and interment occurred on 
Sunday, Jul 21, and was largely attended., about 400 people being present. the 
deceased was a Mason and he was buried with the rites of this order. Masons from 
Ashland, Grayson and Willard lodge attended in large numbers.

 

Judge Woods is survived by 5 sons and 2 daughters: John W. Woods, of Ashland, 
James Woods of Vessie, Harlen Woods of Ratlcliff, Ezra and Walter Woods of 
Webbville, Mrs. A. S. Doty of Detroit, MI and Mrs. Sallie Gardner of Webbville. 
Judge Woods was one of the most popular men in Lawrence County. He was a farmer 
and stock man, having been at one time largely engaged in the buying and selling 
of horses, making annually several trips to the Southern markets with car loads 
of these animals.

 

He was hospitable to a degree entertaining all who came his way and turning none 
from his door. In 1895-6-7 he was the Judge of Lawrence County, being one of the 
few Democrats who have held that office in late years. Judge Woods stood high in 
the county and in the community where he had lived so long, and by his neighbors 
and those who knew him best his loss will be keenly felt and deplored. Big Sandy 
News, Jul 26, 1912
