Mrs. Mary WOODS Dies In Texas


Final rites were held at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Hennessey Baptist
church for Mrs. Mary D. WOODS, who died January 1 at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. Thomas M. COOPER, in Houston, Tex.  Rev. Paul LAMB
officiated, and interment was made in the Hennessey cemetery.

Mrs. WOODS, grandmother of Mrs. George PEDIGO and Sergeant Ernest
NELSON of Kingfisher, was 90 years old last May.  She went to Houston
a few weeks ago for a visit with her daughter, Mrs. COOPER, who
formerly resided at Hennessey and who for two years was employed in
the welfare office here.  Death was the result of pneumonia following
an attack of influenza.

She and Robert Hamilton WOODS were united in marriage in 1874.

The WOODS family moved from Iowa to Oklahoma in 1900, making their
home in the Dover-Hennessey vicinity until Mr. WOODS death in 1924.
Mrs. WOODS then resided with her children until 1927, when she married
S.W. WOODS of Adair, Iowa, where they resided until his death in 1936.
Since that time she divided her time among her children and
grandchildren.  She made numerous visits of several weeks at Mrs.
PEDIGO's home west of Kingfisher.

Survivors include four children, Mrs. E.A. NELSON of Vici, Archie
WOODS of Milwaukee, Wis., Bay WOODS of Hennessey and Mrs. COOPER;  14
grandchildren;  and 11 great-grandchildren.  Four of the grandsons and
two great-grandsons are in the armed forces.
