Obituary William Hood THE LATE WILLIAM HOOD Died April 1st, 1922 Aged 87 years, 7 months, 28 days Another of the sturdy farmer pioneers of this locality has passed away. Few were better known or respected than the late Mr. Hood. Perserving at pioneer work in Howick Township since 1858, Lot 30, con 14, Howick, on which he located, likewise the lands surrounding, were all bush in 1858 and he cleared this lot; coming from the township of Dalhousie, Lanark county, where he was born from Scottish forbears. He was married to Margaret Cochrane, on Jan. 12th, 1860, at Bruce field, Huron County, Ont. by Rev. John Ross ("The man with the Book") Presbyterian minister.

He was a Presbyterian in religion and was a member of Knox Church from a few months after its organization until his death.
