Bert Dexter Wood
February 21, 1879 Franklin, Michigan
October 3, 1970  Franklin, Michigan

Bert was the great grandson of early Franklin, Southfield Township, pioneers 
who settled on land at the corner of Scenic and Franklin Roads in 1824.  His 
grandparents on his mother's side lived at the corner of 13 Mile and Inkster 
Roads.

Bert and family first lived in a small house, which he built, on the site of 
his grandparents' home at 13 and Inkster.  Later he and Mildred lived on the 
corner of Carol Avenue, in the historic section of the village.

For years Bert and his daughter, Mildred, ran the store in Franklin Village, 
which had the tin ceiling and soda fountain with swirling stools.

In 1958 Bert published Franklin's Yesteryear.
