  from newspaper obituary posted by nchatter on ancestry.com Ernest C. Woods was born in West Liberty, Iowa, July 4, 2870 and passed away in Sidney, Mont., Nov. 26, 1935, at the age of 65 years, 4 months and 22 days. Mr Woods was married Jul 4, 1900, to Maggie J. Davis and the couple mad their home on a farm near Perry, Iowa until 1913 when they moved to Montana. They resided on a farm 35 miles from Sidney for ten years. Shortly after moving to Sidney in 1923 Mr. Woods was employed by the Russell-Miller Milling Co. as engineer and held that position up to the time of his death. Overcome by a stroke while at work last Saturday, he lived only a few days never fully regaining consciousness. He is survived by his wife, Maggie J. Woods, and three children, Orval, Opal an Orrie. all of whom were with him at the time of his death. He is also survived by his mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Woods, of Peru, Iowa, one sister, Laura Farr, also of Peru, and four brothers, Elmer of Perry, Iowa, Joe of Sidney, Edgar of Wakefield, Kansas and George, of El Paso, Texas. None of the out of town relatives were in Sidney for the funeral but they were all together last summer when they held a family reunion at the mother's home in Peru to help her celebrate her 91st birthday anniversary. Funeral services were held Friday, Nov. 29, at 1:30 from the Woods home and burial took place in the Sidney cemetery. The Rev. J.C Calhoun had charge of the services. The high regard in which deceased was held here was attested by one of the largest funeral attendances in the history of Sidney and numerous and beautiful floral tributes from individuals and organizations.
