Untitled and/or undated articles; original sources probably the Madison
Times. Extracted from the newspaper article collection started in 1879
by Mrs. Nannie Brown of Madison, Missouri.



"'Grandma' Woods handed us a dollar for the Times this week and said, 'I
have several children away from Madison - one in Idaho, who reads your
paper. Tell them I have been sick all week but am still able to read
the Times.'"





Death of 'Grandma' Woods.



"While the good people of Madison were sleeping last Wednesday night
there was one awake and at work - Death. Just after the night had
turned he called at the home of Nancy J. Woods and claimed her as a
victim.

Nancy J. Woods was born in Henry county, Kentucky, March 6th, 1823, died
May 25th, 1905, aged 82 yrs. 2 mo. and 19 days. She was married to Geo.
E. Woods March 9th, 1837. To this union 11 children were born, nine of
whom remain to mourn her loss. In 1856 she came to Missouri and since
that time has made her home in and around Madison. 'Grandma' Woods, as
she was called by all who knew her, was loved and respected by everyone
from the smallest to the greatest. She had often remarked to the
writer, 'she was ready when the Lord called for her to come.'

She early in life found her Savior and united with the Christian church
of which she was a member at the time of her death. Services were
conducted at the home Friday afternoon by Eld. J.B. Corwin assisted by
Rev. R.A. Jones. Five generations were present at this service: 34
grandchildren; 23 great grandchildren; 6 great, great grandchildren,
after which the body was conveyed to the Cottingham graveyard and laid
to rest to await the great day."
