Jacksboro Gazette January 10 1907 In Memoriam Headquarters, Camp R.E. Lee No. 1314 C.S.A. _Comrades, again it has pleased the Great Commander to take from our ranks our beloved comrade and friend, V.Y. Wood, and called him from his labors here to rest beyond the river, and while we bow in humble submission to his will, knowing that our loss is his gain. We cannot but regret our loss as Comrade Wood was ever true to the cause we so much love, and did everything he could to promote its welfare. He was one of the first members of our camp and did all he could to make it a success. _He was a kind and indulgent husband and father, a good citizen and consistent Christian, and the world is better that he lived. He was a true friend to all that was just and good. To the bereaved wife and children we tender our sympathy. J.M. Maddox, T.F. Warden, J.A. Hudson_
