Woodward an old resident of South Adams county and for some time a resident of Lenox before moving to Castlewood, S. D. about seven years ago, died at his home near Castlewood, of pneumonia, Feb. 8. Mr. Woodward was well known to the people of Adams and Taylor counties as he lived on a farm north of Lenox for over thirty years. He was about 66 years of age. Obituary will appear next week, Lenox Time Table, Lenox, Iowa Thursday February 16, 1911. The following obituary was received from relatives at Castlewood, South Dakota: Joel Nelson Woodward was born in Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, November 7, 1844 and answered the call to leave the Church Militant and join the Church Triumphant, at his home in Castlewood, South Dakota, February 8th, 1911, at the age of 66 years 3 months and 1 day. Mr. Woodward's early life was one of hardship incident to the pioneer days of Illinois. He was left without father or mother at the age of ten years, making his home with his elder brothers who moved to Mercer County, Illinois in 1855. In 1861, when only 17 years of age he enlisted in the Union Army and valiantly defended ‘Old Glory' from the ravages of civil strife. He was a member of Company G, 27th Regiment, Illinois Volunteer Infantry, experiencing his first baptism of fire at Farmington near Corinth, Kentucky, under General Rosecrans he took part in all his campaigning up to Stone River, in which battle Mr. Woodward was severely wounded and left for dead on the field. He was later found by some of his comrades and taken to the field hospital, where he was kept for sixteen days and then transported by ambulance to Nashville, being subsequently discharged for disability. Recovering from his injuries, in June 1864 he again enlisted and was assigned to his former regiment with which he participated in the battles of Jonesboro, the capture of Atlanta, the Atlantic campaign, Franklin, Springfield and Nashville. At the end of the war he went to Washington, D. C. and took part in the Grand Review of the Federal Army coming home by way of Louisville and Springfield at which place he was finally discharged returning to his old home in Mercer County. In 1868 Mr. Woodward was married to Sarah A. Pratt and two years later moved to Adams County, Iowa where he made his home until coming to Castlewood in the spring of 1905. There were born to this union nine children: Mrs. Mary A. Buxton, J. H. Woodward, Mrs. Allie Mitchell, L. C. Woodward, Alonzo, Frank, Mrs Edna Hodges, Homer and Ray, all of whom survive him, the mother having preceded him to the city not made with hands in 1884, a loss severely felt by father and children. Mr. Woodward was married the second time to Mrs. Belle Coulter in Ang.1893. She lived but a short time being called home July 1st, 1894. He was again united in marriage to Mrs. Laura B. Rhodes in September 1895 to whom one son Ralph N. was born, and are left behind in sorrow bur not as those without hope. Mr. Woodward was for many years an earnest, and consistent member of the United Presbyterian Church, always active in every good work for the support of the church and its ministrations, and on his removal to Castlewood, he and the members of his family united with the Presbyterian church here. Mr. Woodward was a man of strong convictions, and highly respected by all who knew him for his rugged character, and dearly loved by his family and friends. The funeral services were held from the Presbyterian church Monday afternoon, conducted by Rev. W. G. Johnson who was assisted by Revs. C. C. Boslaugh of the M. E. Church of this place and A. L. Curtis of Estelline, and were of a most impressive characters. The scripture lesson was Psalm 90, and the text from Revelations, 14th chapter and verse 13, from which the pastor preached a very helpful sermon. The attendance at the service was large and indicative of the esteem in which the deceased was held by our people. To those who are so deeply bereft, the sincere sympathy of his community goes out at this hour of tribulation, and the prayers of all ascend to the Father that he may send the comfort best suited to each of their needs.
