I have attached obits & photos for Horace & Gertude.  The Gertrude photo 

is about 1900.  I do not have any "young" photos of Horace.

I should also have mentioned on the Otsego house photo that Edwin Wood 

was the younger brother of A.J.

HORACE WOOD OBITUARY

Horace Walter Wood, age 75, a lifetime resident of Wright County, passed 

away unexpectedly in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lester Finn, early Wednesday 

morning, February 4, 1953.  



Mr. Wood had been ill for a period of two days following a heart attack.  



He was known by his many good friends and business associates throughout 

Minnesota for his professional lumbering and North Woods knowledge, his 

energetic interest in politics and his intense interest in farming and 

live-stock.  Mr. Wood was a member of the Masonic order, a Past Master 

and active member in Monticello No. 16.  



Horace W., son of Adam J. and Sarah Wood, was born December 3, 1877, at 

Otsego and attended public schools at Elk River.  He was married to 

Gertrude Carder, November 24, 1900, and they made their home and Wright 

County where they resided until the death of Mrs. Wood in January 1947. 

 Since that time Mr. Wood has resided alternately in Monticello and with 

his children and the East and West Coasts.  



Mr. Wood is survived by two sons, Richard Carder, of New York, and Robert 

Horace, of Warwick, Rhode Island; two daughters, Mrs. Flores Keay, of Los 

Angeles and Mrs. Marjorie Tebo of Philadelphia.  A third daughter, Ruth, 

preceded him in death, July 1947.  There are eleven grandchildren and 

eight great-grandchildren 



Funeral services were held Saturday, February 7, 1953, at the Community 

Methodist Church in Monticello, Rev. Edward T. Hare officiating.  

Masonic services were conducted at graveside, Riverside cemetery, Monticello.  



Pallbearers were William Morrell, Oscar Kieble, Henry Brown, William 

Schneider, Richard Nelson and Ed Anderson.  



The death of Horace has brought to an end the history of having a Wood 

in the community for a long period of time.  



His grandfather settled in this area in 1853, and until the death of 

Horace, there had been a Wood residing here since that time.
