Mrs. Agnes Wood, wife of Frank Wood, and daughter of William and Mary Hale of Baldwin, Iowa, died at Kentwood, Louisiana, February 5, 1889, of consumption. Mrs. Wood was born Nov. 3, 1854 in Airdrie, Scotland. She came to America with her parents when she was a child. July 12, 1874, she married Frank Wood and has resided most of the time since then in Webster County, Iowa. Last November the family moved to Kentwood, Louisiana, thinking that the change of climate might improve her health, but she failed gradually until at last death relieved her suffering. Her husband, six children, four brothers and four sisters are now left to mourn her loss,
