General Notes: Wife - Sarah F. Woods


She married about the year 1859, and left for Olympia, Washington Territory, as a missionary. In 1862 her husband died of consumption, leaving her far from home with a little boy, without a single relative anywhere near. In her day of trial, however, she took hold of the many promises in behalf of the widow and orphans, and started for home, landing in the autumn of 1863. The next spring her little son died and she was again left to mourn as none but a mother can mourn; but this time she was surrounded by many kind friends. About two years later, she married again.
