Carolina representative of a large firm of manufacturing chemist in Baltimore 
and was himself a chemist of some note. He made his home in Columbia at the

Norfolk, Va., and one son, Lewis Gaynor Wood, formerly a member fo the staff of

but he was obliged to return to New York. Mrs. Wood was in Hendersonville with 
her husband at the time of his death.
