He was a son of the late Charles Wesley and Sarah (Prouty) Woods, and was born April 6. 1854 in the town of Richland of this county on the homestead farm of his father and always resided in this town and village. On January 25, 1883, he married Helen J. Ingersoll, daughter of the late Thomas R. Ingersoll, of Pulaski, and was associated with Mr. Ingersoll in the carriage business under the name of T. R. Ingersoll and Company. At the discontinuance of this business, in about 1909, he turned his attention to farming, which had been the occupation of his youth, and became extensively interested in agriculture, having several farms under his management and control until about five years ago. Mr. Woods served this village at different times as village trustee and member of the Board of Education. He was also village president. In the year 1880 he became a member of Pulaski Lodge No. 415 F. & A.M., which membership continued until his death. He was a life-long Democrat. He is survived by his wife and two daughters.

Frank Woods, as he was generally known, was a man of tireless energy and exceptional business ability, and had to the fullest extent the confidence and esteem of the people of this village and vicinity. His acquaintance was large and wide. He was a man of sterling integrity and had so lived that it was universally said of him in his life-time as it has been since his going away "Frank Woods was a good man."
