Newspaper Obituary - Wednesday, October 17, 1894 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Last Sunday, about noon, one of the oldest and best known residents of this town breathed his last. Charles Wesley Woods was born in the Sherman Hadley house near this village, February 26, 1823. He was one of eleven children born to John and Sarah Waite Woods, who were pioneers in this town, not only as early residence but as regards wealth and position. John Woods' family consisted of the following named children, given in order of their ages: William Woods, deceased; James Woods, over ninety years old, and living at Erie, Illinois; Luke Woods, deceased; G. A. Woods, 82 years old, living in this village; Chauncey E. Woods, died in Peoria, Illinois; Harriet Woods-Smith, of Grass Lake, Michigan; John Woods, died at sterling, Illinois; Charles Wesley Woods, subject of this sketch; George Woods, United States Marshall, of Oswego; T. W. Woods, deceased, and one who died in infancy. C. W. Woods was married January 27, 1847, to Sarah C. Prouty, a most estimable lady, and with whom he lived most happily for over forty-two years. There were ten children born to Mr. and Mrs. Woods, five sons and five daughters. These were Frederick A. Woods, who died when one year of age; Mrs. Alice Adelle Ellsworth, of Pulaski; Mrs. Martha Ann Meacham, deceased; C. F. Woods, Pulaski; William M. Woods, Highway Commissioner of Richland; Mrs. Katherine M. Luddington, Syracuse; Mrs. Nancy H. Lawler, Pulaski; Dean R. Woods, railroad engineer, Syracuse; Norman W. Woods, Pulaski. Mr. Woods went to housekeeping on the Hadley farm. Later on he owned and occupied a part of the Thomas Hall farm and still later on he bought of Chester Dodge the farm he occupied about one and one-half miles South of this village. Here he lived and prospered as few farmers in this town ever prospered, for twenty-eight years. Twelve years since, he left the farm and came to Pulaski, where he has since resided. Mr. Woods, when in the prime of his life, was a man of excellent judgment in business matters and as a farmer and dairy man he had no superior. He was taken suddenly ill last Thursday with a violent chill which developed into typhoid pneumonia and after only three days of extreme suffering he was at rest. The funeral will be held today at 10:30, Rev. A. S. Emmons, officiating. His remains will be deposited in Pulaski cemetery in the family burial plot. His memory will long be cherished by a large family of children who deeply mourn his departure.
