                  Death of the Health Officer of Norfolk County

We regret to announce the death of Dr. W. A. Wood, Health Officer of Norfolk 
County, which sad event occurred at his late residence on Liberty Street in 
Berkley last evening about 6:30 o'clock, of apoplexy. Dr. Wood had reached the 
advanced age of 63 years, and was a gentleman well-known and highly respected 
throughout the entire section.

                          Funeral of Dr. Wm. E. Wood

The funeral services of Dr. Wm. E. Wood, late health officer of Norfolk County, 
took place from his late residence in Berkley, on Liberty Street, Sunday 
afternoon, and was largely attended. Rev. Herbert Hope preached the funeral 
sermon, and the remains were laid away in the Berkley cemetery, followed by a 
large number of sundry friends and relatives.

**************************************************************************
Dr. Wood. - The death of this highly respected physician and citizen, which 
occurred at his residence Saturday afternoon, was rather unexpected, although 
premonitions of this sad event were not wanting. He leaves to his family a 
bereaved widow, three sons and two daughters (all grown), a character of 
unblemished reputation. Dr. Wood had reached his three score years and ten, and 
at the time of his death was the efficient health officer of the county. One of 
his sons, we believe, is a practicing physician in Elizabeth City, another a 
minister of the Baptist church, and the third, with his two daughters, resided 
here with him. His remains were borne to their resting place in Magnolia 
cemetery on Monday afternoon, and quietly laid away in accordance with Masonic 
ceremonies, of which fraternity he was a most highly respected and esteemed 
member. To the grief stricken family we tender our sincere condolence.
