The Monroe Mirror
These obits were found in a yellow 3 ring binder at the Monroe Public Library. They have been typed by an unknown person & none of the 100 more or less pages contain the name of neither the newspaper nor the publication date. I am just assuming that they were taken from the Monroe Mirror.
(This obit did show an actual clipping dated June 21, 1937).AARON WOOD- Aaron Wood, 91, pioneer resident of Jasper county, died Monday noon at his farm east of Monroe, which had been his home for 81 years. He had been in poor health for some time. Funeral services will be conducted Wednesday at 1:30 pm from Tool's Chapel and burial will be in the Monroe Cemetery. Mr. Wood son of Eli and Elizabeth Wood, was born in Indiana, June 8, 1846 and came with his parents to Jasper County in 1856. They located on a farm east of Monroe in the Tool's Chapel neighborhood and this was Mr. Wood's home for the remainder of his life. On Dec. 12, 1875 he was united in marriage to Catherine Rigolout, who preceded him in death March 25, 1931. Both Mr. Wood and his wife were members of the Methodist Episcopal Church and the Newton Three Quarter Century Club. He was the last of a family of 11 children, a sister, Mrs. Mary Romans of Reasnor, dying 2 years ago at the age of 94 years. Mr. Wood is survived by several nieces and nephews, including two nieces, Mrs. E. E. Efnor and Mrs. B.A. Carney of Newton.
