J. N. Woodruff Died Monday Night

At his home in McDonough, at 10:30 o-clock last Monday night, Mr. J. N. Woodruff breathed his last.

As has been previously announced, he suffered an attack of pneumonia bout two weeks ago, the serious nature of which caused grave apprehensions of family and friends from the beginning, and when the end came it carried a pall of sadness to his large circle of friends.

Mr. Woodruff was a remarkable man in many respects. His last spell of sickness was his first, having never been confined in bed from illness a day in his life. He was always cheerful, genial, liberal, ever ready to accommodate, and possibly no man ever extended more an freer favors than did -Uncle Pomp- Woodruff. Consequently he was a general favorite and one of the characters greatly missed and mourned by community in his departure.

Mr. Woodruff came from Covington to McDonough twenty-five or thirty years ago, making scores of friends here from the beginning. He is survived by his widow, four sons, Messrs. Jim, Tom, Otis and Idus Woodruff, and two daughters, Mrs. Comer Woodward, of Chicago, and Mrs. Verna Wright, of Jackson, all of whom were present at his bedside.

Funeral services were conducted by Rev. H. S. Smith from the Methodist church at 11 o-clock Wednesday morning, with interment in McDonough cemetery. Henry Co. Weekly
