Wood, Charlotte Parker --
Entered into heavenly rest, Sunday, December 2, 1883, at 5 o'clock
P.M., Mrs. Charlotte Parker Wood, wife of John Wood, Esq., and eldest
child of Judge Jacob Parker, deceased. This announcement brings sorrow
to the hearts of many loving friends, who through the slowly-passing
autumn days have kept vigil with that anxious household over which the
Death Angel has brooded these long and dreary weeks. Sixty years ago,
September 28, 1823, Mrs. Wood was born in Mansfield; and here, on
September 28, 1847, she was married. Through childhood, youth and
middle age she lived all the days of her life in Mansfield, and when
the frosts of wintry age had just touched her brow, she folded her
hands in peaceful rest and ended life's "little day" amid
the scenes where it was begun. There are still some few remaining who
remember her as the light-hearted, joyous maiden who tripped through
our streets on her way to school in the far-off "long ago"
scattering sunshine as she went; and some of the old-time friends with
whom she mingled in her girlhood days are weeping sadly over the death
of one whose presence always brought good cheer and merriment to the
social throng. In the more dignified relations of wife and mother her
home was the synonym of hospitality, and here it was that her true
character was most eminently portrayed. While performing every duty
toward those who were dependent upon her care, there was ever a warm,
cozy nook for friends, and time for social chat. Always wearing a
cheerful smile upon her face, she lightened the burdens of others by
words of comfort or acts of kindness, and the memory of her charities
will burn as sweet incense upon the altar of many a lowly heart whom
she helped along life's rugged pathway. Especially was she devoted to
the interests of her church, and long after disease had laid hold upon
her she clung tenaciously to her duties as one of Christ's workers,
and insisted upon keeping her post. But, little by little her strength
departed, and each day her cheeks grew paler and her steps more
feeble, until one by one the duties of home and society were
relinquished, and nothing remained but days of anguish and nights of
pain which were endured patiently even unto the end. Those of her own
household know too well how lonely their future lives will be without
the one who made of home "the dearest spot on earth" for
them; but in the midst of all their grief they may find consolation in
the thought that other wives and mothers may take courage from her
example, who, out of many burdens and cares, gleaned the sunshine, and
carried gladness where ever she went. We shall see her face on earth
no more, but in the companionship of saints and angels she will
recognize the forms of many whom she knew and loved in this world, and
in that home "where dear families are gathered that were
scattered on the wild", she is waiting for the weeping ones who
may meet her "farther on". -- [THE MANSFIELD

will of John Woodhouse. The plaintiff states that John Woodhouse,
of Mifflin Township, died Dec. 17, 1894, leaving the plaintiff, one of

a certain paper purporting to be the last will and testament of Aug. 24,
1891, was admitted to probate. W.H. Douglas was made executor.
The plaintiff alleges that this is not the last will and testament since
John Woodhouse at the time the will was dated and for some time prior
thereto was not of sound mind or memory and for various reasons which
are given in the petition was incapable of making a will. T.Y.

Wyandt,
Daniel -- Mr. Daniel Wyandt was born in Plymouth Township,
Richland County, O., May 28, 1835, and died at his late residence
June 16, 1915, aged 80 years and 18 days. He was of a family
of eight children, all of whom have passed away except one sister,
Mrs. Luther Shutt, of this place. His early years were spent
on the farm. In 1867, with his brother, he began his
business career in Plymouth, which lasted over a period of
forty-one years. He afterwards served as president of the
First National Bank. He was a member of the Masonic order
for nearly fifty years, and a faithful member and supporter of the
Evangelical Lutheran church, regularly attending its services
until a few months ago, when failing health would not
permit. He was married to Helen E. Earl in 1869, who died in
1893. Four daughters were born to them, all of whom are
still living and together with their families were present at his
funeral, except Mrs. Arthur Smith and family, of California.
The eldest daughter, Luella, assumed the cares and duties of the
family at her mother's death, and faithfully performed her part,
keeping for the father and family the "Old Home", sacred
with its memories of a happy family life, until the close of the
aged father's days. Honesty of purpose, uprightness of life,
and integrity of character were Mr. Wyandt's traits. Quiet
and unassuming in his ways, his closing hours were in keeping with
the serenity of his life among men. After a comparatively
short illness he quietly fell asleep, leaving the memory of a
clean life as a sacred legacy to kindred and friends. The
funeral service was held at the family home on Sandusky Street, on
Friday afternoon, June 18, conducted by Rev. G.C. Smith, of the
Lutheran church, attended by many relatives, neighbors and friends,
the bank officials acting as pall bearers. The Masonic lodge
was present in a body, conducting the burial service at the cemetery.
The singing, the many beautiful flowers, the respectful quiet that
reigned in the town, through the closing of the business houses
during the funeral service, for these thoughtful and kindly
attentions to the sacred memory of a departed father, the children
are thankful, to all who thus evinced their regard and
sympathy. -- [Plymouth

Wycoff, Ruth -- The venerable Mrs.
Ruth Wycoff, widow of Tunis Wycoff, met her death by drowning last
Tuesday evening near Moorland. Just before a very heavy rain storm
came on she left the village to go to a farm house a short distance out
of town to get some butter, but never reached her destination. She
was not particularly missed, those in town supposing she was with
friends in the country, and those on the farm that she was at home.
The first intimation that evil had befallen her was the startling news
on Wednesday evening that she was dead. The alarm was given by a
little girl who going along the road where runs a small stream, found
Mrs. Wycoff's bonnet, and a little farther along discovered the body in
shallow water where it had lain dead for thirty hours. It is
supposed she fell from the foot log that crosses the stream, the water
of which was higher than usual owing to the heavy rain. Her age
was 75 years, and her strength was not sufficient to exert much against
her fate. The remain were interred in the Moorland graveyard
beside those of her husband. She was an estimable woman, noted for
Christianity, charity and benevolence, especially contributing her means
to church and colleges. [Richland Shield & Banner: 15 July
