  The funeral service will take place at the above named residence at 2:30 P.M. and at the A.M.E. Zion Church at 3 P.M. on Wednesday 9th October.
  Mrs. Woods was one of the oldest residents of this place and has left a numerous circle of friends and acquaintances besides the under mentioned relatives to mourn the sad loss and bereavement. Mrs. Elizabeth Quinn [Guinn] and Mrs. H. H. Coleman, daughters, of this place, Mrs. Katy P. Johnson, daughter, of Syracuse, N.Y., William G. Woods, son, of Delhi, N.Y; four grand children and one great grand child.
  As wife of Nicholas Woods who died about thirty-three years ago the deceased has always been noted for her Christian trait and principles which much endeared her to all those who formed her acquaintance. Of an apparently extraordinary strength of constitution and force of mind she was fully conscious to the time of her demise.                  R. I. P.”
