!OBITUARY: From a "poor quality photocopy of an unknown newspaper obit." submitted by B. Wood:

CENTRAL FALLS

Joseph Wood, a resident of the West Side for the past several years, died at his home on Lonsdale avenue yesterday morning in his 78th year. [Brian has determined the address to be 1045 Lonsdale Avenue. It is currently the site of a commercial building.]

...Mr. Wood was born in Blackburn, England, and came to this country when a very young boy. For many years he lived in Lonsdale, and afterward removed to Manville, where he was foreman of the dressing department in the mill for several years.

...Mr. Wood was one of the oldest living members of Union Lodge, A.F. and A.M., of Pawtucket Royal Arch Chapter, Pawtucket Council, Royal and Select masters, and Holy Sepulcher Commandery Knights templar. In addition to his widow, he is survived by two sons, George who is a master mechanic at the Manville Mill, and William, a druggist, of Providence.
