MRS MARGARET JANE WOODS.
Quite a gloom was cast over the Methven and Highbank districts when the death occurred of Mrs Margaret Jane Woods, of Methven. Mrs Woods was horn at Killinchy, where she resided until she was married to Mr Francis Woods in 1893 at Leeston. With her husband she went to Pahiatua, in the North Island, where they lived for a number of years. Later they came to Highbank, where Mr Woods had purchased a farm. About three years ago Mr Woods purchased another farm close to Methven township, and here they lived until the time of Mrs Woods's death. Mrs Woods was of a very retiring disposition, but her lovable disposition made for her a very large circle of friends, who sincerely mourn her loss. She is survived by her husband, six sons — Messrs T., F., H. and L. Woods (Highbank), G. Woods (Pahiatua), W. Woods (Methven) — and four daughters — Mrs T. Gilpin (Highbank), Mrs A. Thompson (Methven), Mrs O. Mabley and Mrs J. Bland (Dunedin).
The funeral, which was largely attended, took place at the Methven Cemetery. The service at the residence and afterwards at the graveside was conducted by the Rev. Richard Morgan. The pall-bearers were Messrs T., F., G., H., and L. Woods (sons) and O. Woods (nephew). Many beautiful floral tributes were received. -Ashburton Guardian 7/8/1934.
