Death of T. S. Wood

A Resident of Winneconne Passes Away in That Village

The death of T. S. Wood, an old resident of Winneconne, occurred last
Saturday at his home on Cedar street in that village.  He was born at
Sutter, Quebec, August 5, 1829.  He came to Wisconsin from New York and
settled at Winneconne with his wife, May 9, 1855.  The remainder of his
life was spent in Winneconne in the occupation of farming.  Mr. Wood was
the first man to enlist from Winneconne in the civil war.  He went to Fond
du Lac and enlisted in Co. G of the Third Wisconsin infantry, July 9, 1861,
serving until 1864, when he came home on account of injuries.  He took part
in the most severe battles of the war, among them Bull's Bluff, Antietam
and Gettysburg.  He served as town superintendent of schools at one time
and for many years was a justice of the peace.  He was mainly instrumental
in securing a public park for the village.  He is survived by a widow and
one child.  The funeral was held from the Presbyterian church in
Winneconne, Monday, Rev. Mr. Sillars officiating.
