Virginian Pilot December 12, 1907

                     DR. WM K WOOD DIED YESTERDAY

      Well Known Physician of Berkley and Health Officer---Native of N.C.

Dr. William K. Wood died yesterday morning at 6:30 o'clock at his residence, 
411 Chestnut street, after an extreme illness of typhoid fever lasting a 
week.  He had been complaining several weeks before taking (to) his bed, but 
continued to respond to the calls that came from his patients until his 
illness forbid.
He was 32 years old last September, and is survived by a widow, a son, W.K. 
Wood, Jr., a mother, Mrs. Jonathan Wood, two sisters and a brother, the 
latter of Centerville, Norfolk County.  He was a native of Elizabeth City, 
N.C., but came to this state in infancy with his parents and resided at 
Centerville until he moved to Berkley about six years ago.
Dr. Wood was a graduate of Baltimore Medical College completing the course 
before he was 21 years old and practiced in the county five years and since 
that time pursued his profession in Berkley, having built up a large 
practice and made a host of friends.
He was assistant health officer to Dr. Dupuy for Berkley ward, which 
position he had held since Berkley became a part of the city.  He was also 
health officer for Berkley when it was an independent town.
Dr. Wood was a Mason, a member of Doric Lodge No. 44 this city.
From the first of his illness it was evident that his condition was most 
critical and the best medical attention was given.
Dr. Dupuy and Dr. Sleet were in regular attendance and quite a number of the 
leading physicians of the city were called in consultation from time to 
time.  He also had two nurses in attendance all the while.
The funeral will be conducted from the residence Friday afternoon at 3 
o'clock, with Rev. C.S. Lingamfelter, pastor of Armstrong Memorial 
Presbyterian Church, and Rev. W.A. Smith, pastor  of the Berkley Avenue 
Baptist Church, officiating.
The interment will be in Magnolia Cemetery.
