This obit was published in the Monticello Times and while it is hard to read 

hopefully it will come through.  The historical society could not find any 

for his wife Sarah Fleming Wood.  They are both buried in the Otsego 

Cemetary.  I have also attached photos of Adam & Sarah Wood.  A separate 

mailing will have their Otsego home taken about 1885.

ADAM WOOD DIES - 1917



Another One of Wright County's Pioneers Joins the Silent Majority



Adam Wood will came to Wright County in 1858 with his parents when a babe 

and who has lived here ever since, died very suddenly on Monday afternoon 

April 3, from a severe attack of the pleurisy that affected his heart.  

If that lived until May next he would have been 59 years old.  Funeral 

services were held this afternoon from the M E Church under the suspices

Mr. Wood came to Wright County in 18?0, settling in Otsego where he lived 

until about three years ago when he moved to the old Porter farm about 

three miles west of  that village.  He served as supervisor of Otsego for 

twelve years, constable for 20 years, was a member of the Legislature three 

terms, 1903-05-07, and was assistant sergeant of the House of Representatives 

in the session of 1909.  He was a successful and prosperous farmer, a 

staunch Republican all his life, being active in party councils of Wright 

County many years.  He served several terms as deputy sheriff and made an 

excellent official.  He will be missed by many friends in Wright and 

Sherburne counties. He is mourned by his widow and one son, Horace, of 

Monticello Village.  His funeral which was held this afternoon and was 

attended by a large number of friends and neighbors who gathered here to 

pay their dead neighbor and friend their last respects.
