      E W Wood, farmer, Oak Forest, Penna, is among the 
representative farmers and wool dealers of Greene County. He 
was born in Franklin Township, October 28, 1837. His parents 
were John D Wood and Nancy Critchfield Wood, also natives of 
this county, where they were married and remained until 
their deaths. Mr Wood departed this life September 26, 1876, 
and his wife October 12, 1849. They had a family of seven 
children, of whom five are now living.
  
      E W Wood was united in marriage October 17, 1867, with 
Mary J Patterson, who was born in Whitely Township, this 
county, September 11, 1844. She was a daughter of William 
and Rhoda Patterson, also natives of Greene County, and 
residents therein throughout life.
  
      To Mr and Mrs Wood were born five children, of whom 
four are living: C Endsley Wood; Norman Wood, Edward Wood; 
Mary Wood; and Charles B Wood (deceased). Mr Wood is a

also a devoted member. She departed this life January 30, 
1881, and by her death the family was bereft of a kind and
