OBITUARY: John H. Wood, 3 Jul 1885 - Smith County, TX Submitted by Vicki Betts 21 Sep 2002 Copyright.

Wood, familiarly known as "Grandpa Wood," is dead. He died July 3, 1885. He was a member at Lindale, and had been a Methodist for nearly sixty years. He was born Jan. 27, 1811, and so was getting feeble in body when the Master called for him. He was much afflicted during the last years of his life, and often came to church when he could not hear the preaching. But we were always comforted to have him present, and look forward to the day when, with his wife and children, we shall sit down with him in the kingdom of heaven. M. E. BLOCKER
