Untitled, undated article; original source unknown. Extracted from the
newspaper article collection started in 1879 by Mrs. Nannie Brown of
Madison, Missouri.



"Cora, the beloved wife of J.H. Woods, of Woodlawn, died October 30,
1901, after an illness of only a week's duration. Mrs. Woods was born
August 27, 1864, Cuyhoga county, Ohio, being at the time of her death
thirty-seven years, two months and ten days old. She came when quite
young to this state with her mother, Mrs. Cornelia Hall, who settled a
few miles north of Madison, where she lived until her marriage to
Christopher Snidow. To this union one child, Lollie, was born.
Sometime after the death of Mrs. Snidow, she moved to Madison and lived
there until her marriage to J.H Woods in April 1892. She has since
lived in Woodlawn, and by her many Christian virtues and womanly traits
has enthroned herself in the hearts of the people no only of that
vicinity, but wherever she lived "none knew her but to love her."

Besides a sorrowing husband and one grown daughter, she leaves three
small children who will miss a tender mother's care, three sisters, Mrs.
Geo. Woods, Mrs. Wm. Million and Mrs. Tom Hickey, three brothers,
George, Al and Tom Hall who will miss the sisters kind word and counsel,
her neighbors will miss a tender friend and the Christian church of
which she was a member, an earnest helper. Though sad today is the home
where she was queen, her loved ones weep not as those without hope, for
they know that at the singing portals of Heaven, she waits to welcome
them when they have finished the (unknown) life here below with all its
sorrows, heartaches and bitter (unknown)."
