He was the son of Nicholas Woodring and Julia Ann Seiple. He married Rebecca Coppock in June of 1860 in Dekalb Co, IN. They were the parents of Judson Edward (1861-1942 Ada, ID), and Emmaline and Caroline (twins born in Sept 1864). Oct 16, 1929 - Carroll Times - R.R. Woodring, pioneer furniture dealer and undertaker of Carroll, died at his home, Nampa, Idaho, Wednesday morning, October 9, 1929, at ten o'clock. His death was caused by a general wearing out of his strong body, which age had touched lightly until the last few weeks. Mr. Woodring had passed his 91st birthday and had the distinction of being the second oldest member of the Masonic fraternity in the United States. J.E. Woodring, son of the deceased man accompanied his father's body to Carroll, where Masonic services were held at the Carroll cemetery Saturday afternoon, October 12, conducted by the Masonic lodges of this city. Burial was made beside his wife, who has been dead many years. Six grandsons acted as pallbearers. Relatives here for the funeral were J.E. Woodring, Nampa, Idaho; Mr. and Mrs. W.E. Detrick, son George, and daughter, Emma, of Cedar Rapids; Robert Detrick and Mr. and Mrs. Carol Detrick, of Omaha; Mrs. Emma Forbes, sons Newell and Lynn, of Omaha; Mr. and Mrs. Bert Forbes, of Pocohontas; J.W. Forbes and son, Walden, of Walnut, Ia.; W.E. Smith of Clemons, Ia; and Mr. and Mrs. Fred Detrick of Marshalltown. Robert R. Woodring was born at Bethlehem, Pa., April 23, 1838. Later the family moved to Ohio, then to Illinois. Mr. Woodring was married in Ohio to Miss Rebekah Coppock, of Quaker stock. They came to Carroll, Ia., in 1880, where Mr. Woodring went into the furniture business. Mr. Woodring was an ardent lover of horses, as well as a good horseman, and while in Carroll, as a hobby, outside his store, owned a string of thoroughbreds. He was a familiar figure in this community driving a span of fast horses hitched to a high wheeled sulky. He also took an interest in house building, and erected several residence properties in this city. In 1910 Mr. Woodring disposed of his store in Carroll and moved to Boise, Idaho, where he entered the furniture business. This he conducted for a number of years. Later he sold his interests in Boise and with his son, J.E. Woodring, purchased a large apple orchard near Nampa, Idaho. He was in this business at the time of his death. For 65 years Mr. Woodring was a member of the Masons lodge, which he joined at Antwerp, Ohio, in 1864. He was an Arch Mason 45 years and a member of the Order of the Eastern Star for 40 years. When a resident of Carroll he served as worshipful master of the local lodge for three years. Mr. Woodring was the oldest Mason in Idaho in point of membership, and at the meeting of the Idaho Grand Lodge in September of this year there was a beautiful ceremony when he was presented with a 50 year jewel, which was the gift of the Ohio Grand Lodge. Mr. Woodring made his last visit to Carroll in May 1920. He was well at that time and manifested much interest in his old home town and his many friends, although he confessed to a feeling of great home sickness when he returned to this city. "A homesickness for that which had been", as he expressed it. Few live to be as old as the deceased, and still fewer have the pleasure of being active and strong in their last years, spreading happiness and good will to the very end of their lives. In spite of his 91 years Mr. Woodring never grew old, so great was his joy in living. Mr. Woodring is survived by his son, J.E. Woodring, of Nampa, Idaho, two daughters, Mrs. Carrie Detrick of Cedar Rapids, Ia., and Mrs. Emma Forbes of Omaha, Nebr., ten grandchildren and nine great grandchildren. 1888 - Carroll Sentinel - Last Wednesday at the home of R.R. Woodring Miss Carrie Woodring of this city was married to Edward Dietrick of Marshalltown. The newly married couple will make their home in Marshalltown, where the groom has a good business.
