EDWARD WOODS was born in Morgan County, Ind., July 12, 1848, and is one of
the five children composing the family of Patrick and Mary (Dougherty)
Woods, natives of Ireland and Ohio respectively. Patrick Woods was born in
1811, emigrated to America, and in 1843 to the State of Ohio, where he
married the same year, and afterward moved to Morgan County, Ind., and
settled on the identical land where our subject now resides, which was his
home until his death in 1865. Mrs. Woods subsequently wedded Thomas
Dougherty, and is yet living, her family comprising five in number--James,
Thomas, Edward, Patrick and Catherine. Edward Woods married in this county,
October 8, 1873, Miss Mary E., daughter of William and Ruth Kemp, and a
native of Morgan County, born February 13, 1857. Mrs. Woods died April 15,
1881, having been the mother of six children--Rosie A., Mattie, Alice,
Thomas, William (deceased) and Mary E. (deceased). Mr. Wood is much
respected by his fellow-citizens.
