The Verden News
March 30, 1934

John Wood, prominent pioneer citizen of Verden succumbed Tuesday night 
about 1015 o'clock. Mr. Wood had been in declining health a number of 
years and his passing was not a shock to his many friends. His wife 
passed away December 10, 1933.

Mr. Wood, before his health failed, was a very active worker in the 
Methodist church, having served many years as superintendent of the 
Sunday school and holding other offices of the church. Mr. Wood took a 
great interest in singing, he had a very pretty voice for tenor and his 
voice could be heard no matter how large a crowd he was singing with. 
Mr. Wood, not only was interested in church work, but took interest in 
all activities to the up-building of Verden and community, he was a kind 
loving father to his family, his neighbors held highest respects to him 
and all his dealings.

A character of Mr. Wood's type lives on while he has gone on to where he 
has prepared a home with good deeds and kindness during his daily life 
here.

The funeral will be held here at the Methodist church Friday at 230 
o'clock with the pastor, Rev. N. T. Peak officiating. Interment will be 
made in the Verden cemetery beside his wife.

He is survived by a son and daughter, Cecil Wood and daughter, Mrs. Lola 
Whitley and other relatives and friends.
