WOODS, James Bedford - Died, April the 19th at his home in Bentonville, Ark., James Bedford Woods in the 69th year of his age. Deceased was born in Benton county, Ark., September 23rd, 1843. His father, Newton Woods, having died when he was only six years of age, much of his childhood was spent with his grandparents, Samuel Woods and James Jackson, of whom he always treasured a fond memory, When quite a young man he went west and in 1870 was married to Ezekia Delgado, of which marriage two children are now living. After spending a number of years in New Mexico, where he served several positions of trust, he returned to Bentonville in 1880, having lost his wife four years previous. On January 19th, 1888 he and Adaline Elliott were united in marriage. To this union, one child, Harry, now an amiable young man, was given. After several years of failing health, a complete breakdown took place about three months previous to his death on April 19th, 1912. He was not a member of the church but believed in the church and in christianity and was desirous for his family to have the benefit of the means of grace. In his affliction he was patient and unmurmuring, was often heard praying, earnestly supplicating the throne of mercy and grace. He is survived by his beloved companion and children and a host of dear kindred and friends. Many of his neighbors and friends attended the funeral service held by the writer assisted by Bro. Taylor. This death is peculiarly sad and trying; it being the fourth loved one borne from this lovely home to a place in the city of the dead.P. Carnahan.
