The Ionia Daily Sentinel, Thursday, March 2, 1911

The death of Mrs. Susan Ann Wood, aged 76 years, 7 months, 17 days, one of 
Ionia county’s pioneers occurred at Hersey, Osceola county, February 24, and 
the remains were brought here for burial Monday.  Cancer of the breast was the 
cause of death.  The funeral was attended Monday afternoon at three o’clock 
from the Woodard Lake church and burial was in Woodard Lake cemetery.

Mrs. Wood came here from her birthplace, Chautauqua county, New York, while 
still a young girl and when Ionia county was mostly a wilderness.  Her 
girlhood days were spent in Montcalm county and in 1843 was married to Barney 
Wood, one of Ionia’s pioneers.  Three daughters and one son were born and they 
resided for many years on the old homestead at Woods Corners.  The death of 
her husband occurred in 1886, and for the past eighteen years Mrs. Wood had 
made her home with her son.

For eight years she resided in Montcalm county, then on Missaukee county for a 
time.  For the past two years they have lived in Osceola county.  

One son, L. A. Wood, of Hersey, survives.  There are also living seven grand 
children, two great grandchildren and two sisters, Mrs. Sylvia Brooks, of 
Ronald, and Mrs. Emma Noah, of Montcalm county.  The remains were brought here 
by the son.

Card of Thanks:

I wish to thank the singers, Mr. Herbert Smith, Mrs. Esther Leach, Mrs. H. L. 
Smith and Miss Smith, and those who sent flowers at the death of our mother.

L. A. Wood and family
