--
The funeral of the late David D. Wood, an old and respected resident
of this place, who died on Friday last, took place from his late
residence, Sylvia St., on Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock and was
largely attended.
Services were
conducted at the house by the Rev. C. Deacon, pastor of the Methodist
Church, after which the funeral cortege proceeded to Greenwood
cemetery, where the remains were interred in the family plot.
Deceased was
borne [sic] in the Township of Windham on the 23rd of April 1825,
where he lived until 1868, acting as bailiff for some years, when he
removed to Danville, Pa., where he resided eleven years, but his love
for his own country caused him to return with his family and settle in
Waterford, where he has lived up to the present.
For some years
his health had been failing, but was not alarming until two months ago
when dropsy set in, which quickly did its work. He was a great
sufferer, but was always patient and cheerful.
Deceased leaves
behind a widow, one son and one daughter to mourn his loss, who have
the sympathies of their many friends in their bereavement.
