© The Verden News Verden, Oklahoma March 24, 1916 February 11, 1884 ~ March 9, 1916 Jesse William Hood was born in Franklin, Macon county, N. C. February 11, 1884 and died in Tempe, Ariz. March 9, 1916, age 32 years and 27 days. His early life was spent in his home state. When fourteen years of age he united with the Methodist church and lived a consistent Christian life. He came to Verden in 1908 and spent several years here on the farm. During the years he spent here he had his home with Mr and Mrs Frank Love and they, perhaps, knew him better than anyone else here. They always treated him as one of their own family. A man who knew Mr Hood well stated a few days ago that this young fellow had more friends than any man that had ever lived in Verden. He was a member of the Masonic Lodge here and took his Master Mason degree September 14, 1909. He was also a member of the Eastern Star. The last year he was here his health failed to such an extent that he was compelled to leave so he went to the University hospital at Oklahoma City, August 23, 1914. He was married to Miss Lola Addington, November 28, 1914. At this time he was in bed and had no hopes of ever getting well, but Miss Addington's love and devotion was so great that she desired to spend her entire time taking care of him and was glad to take him to a climate where he could recuperate. So she took him to Tempe, Arizona, where he lived about a year. Just before his death he requested that he be brought to Verden for burial and that Rev P. T. McWhorter who performed his marriage ceremony preach his funeral sermon and that the Masons of Verden Lodge have charge of the services at the grave. He is survived by a wife and two brothers, one of the brothers living in Oklahoma City and the other living in Matoaka, W. Va. Some day we shall see him face to face and then we shall understand. May God bless the sorrowing Ones. By A. B. Waldrep |
