HOOD, W. E.
(8 Sep 1904, Greer County Republican, Erick, Beckham Co, OK):
In Memoriam.
Died, at his home in this city, on September 3rd, 1904, W. E. Hood, aged
55 years.
It is with feelings of deep sorrow that we find ourself called upon to
chronicle the death of W. E. Hood, for of all the citizenship of our town
no one stood more highly in the estimation of all our people than did the
deceased.  We are safe in saying that he had not a single enemy, but
everyone knew him only to love and admire him as a man and a citizen.  Mr.
Hood was born near Rome, Ga., in 1849, removed to Texas where he later
married Miss Coffey.  The family removed to Oklahoma in 1898 to make their
permanent home, settling near Delhi in this county.  He leaves a wife and
three children, all married, and a host of friends to mourn his loss.  Mr.
Hood has for long years been an honored member of the Masonic fraternity,
and in harmony with his request and the desire of the order here the
remains were interred by the usual impressive rites and ceremonies of
Masonry.  The Warlord was a master of ceremonies, assisted by H. A.
Russell, W. M. of Sayre lodge, and J. A. Minton of Erick as chaplain.  The
Republican extends its sincere sympathy and condolence to the widow and
family of the deceased.
