From Story County Watchman July 29, 1898

DIED--In this city on the 26th of July W. R. Woodward, aged 78 years 7 months and 16 days. Mr. Woodward was a native of Washington county, Ohio, coming to Iowa in 1844 where he has resided there until they moved into Nevada a few year since. Mrs. W. survives him and is still with us here. Mr. W. was one of the good men of the community and his loss will be a hard one for more than one in this locality and all trust that many may follow the good example set by him during his life. Last week we referred to an accident to him by falling from a stroke of paralysis which being the second one he never rallied from and the end found him resigned to the will of the creator. The last rites were held under the direction of Rev. Blackman assisted by Rev. Elwell of the Baptist church of which he had long been a devoted and honored member.
