Mrs. Woods was nearly a month past 93 years of age, nevertheless until a short time before her death she was quite active, and took great interest in the local women's organizations to which she belonged. Mrs. Woods passed away at the atkinson hospital where she was taken for medical care Thursday evening, last week. Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon. The rites at the Presbyterian church were conducted by the Rev. H.E. Ivens, pastor, and music was by a sextet composed of Mrs. I.R. Dickerson, Mrs. Geo. H. Frohardt, Mrs. A.T. Barnes, Mrs. Harvey Shaw, H.A. Snyder and G.H. Frohardt, wht Mrs. John H. Bishop at the piano. Immediately preceding the church service, a memorial service was held at the home by members of the various women's of which Mrs. Woods was a member. Funeral arrangements were in charge of chapter BU of the P.E.O. sisterhood. Burial was in Woodlawn cemetery. The pallbearers were W.B. Warren, D.R. Mounts, V.C. Wilbern, W.L. Schultz, B.B. Adams and George Tracy.. Mrs. Woods was born Lucretia Hoisington, on Feb. 28, 1846, near Monmouth, Warren county, Illinois, and died March 27,1939 at Atkinson, Nebr., aged 93 years and 27 days. In 1881 she was united in marriage to Seth Woods, and they came to Nebraska in 1882, and to Holt county in 1885. Her husband passed away in 1905. Mrs. Woods had lived continuously in the same house in the the north part of Atkinson since 1886. After the death of her husband she lived with her son, Robert R. Woods, who was her constant companion and faithfully cared for her during her declining health as the infirmities of age crept upon her. He is her only surviving near relative, she being the last member of her family. She was a member of the Presbyterian church, a charter member of chapter BU of the P.E.O. sisterhood, and of the Avon Shakespeare club, and for many years was a member of the Utile Dulci club. As one of her good friends said of her, "She was the fine old American stock that is passing away all too soon."
