© The Verden News Verden, Oklahoma March 30, 1934 John A. Wood February 10, 1867 ~ March 27, 1934 John Wood, prominent pioneer citizen of Verden succumbed Tuesday night about 10:15 'clock. Mr Wood had been in declining health a number of years and his passing was not a shock to his many friends. His wife passed away December 10, 1933. Mr. Wood, before his health failed, was a very active worker in the Methodist church, having served many years as superintendent of the Sunday school and holding other offices of the church. Mr Wood took a great interest in singing, he had a very pretty voice for tenor and his voice could be heard no matter how large a crowd he was singing with. Mr Wood, not only was interested in church work, but took interest in all activities to the up-building of Verden and community, he was a kind loving father to his family, his neighbors held highest respects to him and all his dealings. A character of Mr. Wood's type lives on while he has gone on to where he has prepared a home with good deeds and kindness during his daily life here. The funeral will be held here at the Methodist church Friday at 2:30 o'clock with the pastor, Rev. N. T. Peak officiating. Interment will be made in the Verden cemetery beside his wife. He is survived by a son and daughter, Cecil Wood and daughter, Mrs. Lola Whitley and other relatives and friends. |
