• Notes

  from "The Lead (SD) Daily Call", 29 Oct 1907 Orin H. Woods, editor of the Big Horn News, published at Meeteese, Wyo., died on October 20. He was a bright, straightforward young man, and has many friends in Lead who will regret to learn of this demise. from "The Chariton Leader", 31 Oct 1907 (posted on rootsweb.com) ORIN HAZEN WOODS, eldest son of L.N. and AUGUSTA WOODS was born in this neighborhood Dec. 3, 1869, and grew to manhood on the farm, receiving a common school education in the district school. From 1888 to 1892 he was a student in Simpson College, where by close application he soon became recognized as one of the thinkers of the institution, receiving the honors for the best oration, which entitled him to represent the school in the State Oratorial Contest held at Grinnell, in 1892. A year later he taught school in Utah, then made a voyage to the North Seas. He was appointed Principal of the Woodburn High School in 1896, going to Wyoming, in l897, he was appointed U.S. Court Commissioner and worked at surveying when not engaged in the duties of his office. On May 7, 1901, he was united in marriage to Miss Ola M. Martin, of Woodburn, and at once returned to Basin, to resume the duties of his office. He resigned his position as U.S. Commissioner in 1902 to enter the George Washington University at Washington, D.C., and graduated in law June 1, 1905, the fifth in a class of three hundred students. Returning to Wyoming, he at once began to practice law at Basin, where he proved his ability by an almost phenominal success as a lawyer and man of affairs, having in two years built up a large law practice besides being interested in a number of business enterprises. On October 1, 1907, he was taken sick with typhoid fever and Oct. 20 passed to the Great Beyond where with loving hearts chastened, and bereft by this Providence, we confide him to a loving Father until that glad morning when faith lost in sight, we shall know that which now we cannot understand. To the bereaved wife and to little Carl Hazen, their only child and to the father, four brothers and one sister, the hearts of the entire community go out in sympathy in this hour of sorrow for the loss of a loving husband, father, son and brother, while all who knew him share in their sorrow in feelings of personal loss of a friend, an exemplary citizen and a true and upright man.
