WOOD 95-Year Old Dies Who Came to County In Covered Wagon Frank Wood, who died Friday night at his home in Spring Hill was buried on his 95th birthday Monday, Feb. 2. Mr. Wood accompanied his parents to Warren county from Maryville, Mo., when he was 11 years old and had lived in the county ever since. His parents came to Warren county in a covered wagon with one horse and an oxen hitched together. He has lived on the same farm for 64 years. Although Mr. Wood had only nine months of schooling he was a firm believer in education and was president of the Spring Hill school board for over 30 years. He attended school in a schoolhouse at Greenbush near his home. School was held only three months of each year. The small village of Greenbush and the school are now consolidated with other schools and towns. When his parents moved to Warren county there were few roads and no railroad. Later a railroad was put through his father's land. There were no fences and Mr. Wood used to tell of his work tending to the cattle and how he was kept busy running after the cows and horses. Once he accompanied his parents to their old home at Maryville and his father was stopped and arrested. The officers thought he was a horse thief and he had to return home for proof that he was not a thief. He was released, and they returned to Maryville for a visit. Mr. Wood's full name was Noah Franklin but no one knew him except as Frank. He was superintendent of the Christian church at Spring Hill for many years. Surviving are five children: Curtis at Burlington; Emmett and Gene of Indianola; Edd of Spring Hill and Mrs. Oscar Backley of Los Angeles. # # # Noah Franklin Wood was born at Marysville, Mo., Feb. 2, 1853, and died Jan. 31, 1948, at the home of his son, E.R.
