[WOOD, WILLIAM JAMES "BILLY"]
Maryville Republican (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, July 30, 1885
On Tuesday, the 21st, a telegram reached us from Bedford, Iowa, bringing the sad news of the death of Wm. J. Wood who died at his home in northwest Bedford, about half past eight on the date above mentioned. Billy, as he was familiarly called was born in Edgar county, Ill., on March 1st, 1837, and emigrated to Nodaway county, Mo., with relatives in 1854. He took an active part in subduing and bringing into cultivation the wild prairies and in fact few young men was blessed with as much energy or nerve as he was and when the war of the Rebellion broke out, his loyalty to his country soon brought him to enlist as a Federal soldier, which he did on the 4th of July 1861 and entered the 1st Neb. Inft., Co. I, where he served as snare drummer through the war and when the war was over, he returned to home and friends in old Nodaway, where he chanced to meet with Miss Asewath [Asenath] Wray, to whom he became united in wedlock January 29, 1865, and lived and prospered in our midst and was esteemed by everyone who knew him. For a number of years he owned the farm where Uncle George Nash now lives, but thinking to better his condition he went to Iowa and engaged in rural pursuits for a few years, but his health having failed very materially so that he was no longer able to labor on a farm and being ambitious to see his children well educated, he moved to Bedford where he soon became surrounded with hosts of friends, but it soon became evident that his stay would be a short one in the new home, for disease was fast wearing his life away. He was converted and became a member of the M. E. church shortly after his marriage and continued in church membership as a firm adherent to her fundamental principles unto death. During the last few weeks of his illness the G. A. R. boys bestowed every kindness possible upon him and when death claimed him for its own, they honored him with the grandest funeral it has ever been our lot to attend.
The funeral discourse was preached by Rev. D. Austin of Bedford and was the most able funeral discourse we ever listened to. Of the relatives attending the funeral from Mo., we note S. K. Wray and two daughters, W. W. Wray and wife, J. Arthur Wray and wife, Mrs. Maggie Stewart and little daughter, Mrs. Jennie Conrad, Aunt Abigail Wood and H. T. Wray.
A wife and five lovely children are left to mourn the loss of a loving husband and father.
A host of friends sympathize with the bereaved ones.    H. T. Wray.
