"Evening Times" Cumberland, Maryland, Tuesday 15 Sep 1914: 
"Lonaconing, Md., Sept. 15-At his home on Jackson street, Sunday night, Bernard P. 
Woods, died very suddenly from hemorrhage of the brain. Mr. Woods was born in 
Ireland in 1846. He came to this country in 1871, locating at Frostburg and later 
came to Lonaconing, where he since resided. Mr. Woods followed the avocation of a 
coal miner for many years until a few years ago he established a general 
merchandising business on a small scale in the property one time owned and 
occupied by the late David Dick. He was a gentleman of some attainments, being a 
student pf public events and was a ready debater and close observer. He was a 
member of the Ancient Order of Hibernians and had been a prominent figure in the 
Knights of Labor when that organization flourished in this region. He was a 
gentleman of modest manners but positive in his opinions and aggressive in any 
movement in which he was engaged. Some years ago Mr. Woods served in the capacity 
of Justice of the Peace in District No. 15, Jackson side, and he made a very 
satisfactory officer. The following sons survive: Terrence and Alex Woods, of 
Lonaconing; Bernard Woods, of Midland; William Woods, of Hubbard, W. Va.; Patrick 
Woods, Pittsburgh, Pa.; brothers and sisters, Mr. Thomas Woods, of Pittsburgh, 
Mrs. Henry Devlin, of Lonaconing, and Mr. Patrick Woods, of Midland. Funeral took 
place this morning from St. Mary's Catholic church, where services were conducted 
by Rev. Father Joseph P. Nolan, pastor, and the remains interred in St. Mary's 
cemetery. The funeral was very largely attended."
