JESSIE J. WOODS

Jessie J. Woods, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Woods, was born September 1, 1908 and died in Osceola, Iowa at 2:00 o'clock in the morning, August 1, 1930, aged 21 years and 11 months.

All of Jessie's life was spent in Clarke county, where he made many friends. He was a kind hearted and industrious boy.

Jessie leaves to mourn his going, his father and mother, nine brothers and sisters-Mrs. Paul Taylor of New Virginia, Iowa, Luther, Cleo, Corda, Flossie, Frank, Everett, Roberta and Gladys, who are all at home; one grandmother, Mrs. Eli Harrison, of Jamison, Iowa; nine uncles and seven aunts, several cousins and a host of friends.

"Build the more stately mans-
ion, O my soul;
As the swift seasons roll;
Leave thy low vaulted past;
Let each new temple, nobler
than the last,
'Till though at length are free.
Leaving thine outgrown shell by
life's unresting sea."

Those who acted as pallbearers were Alvin Woods, laurel Woods, Ray Switzer, Virgil Russell, J. C. Mattox and Delmar Clark.

Funeral services were held at the Center church Sunday morning, August 3, at 11 o'clock, Rev. Roy W. Weaklend of the Church of Christ in Clearfield, officiating. Interment was made in the Bethel Chapel cemetery.
