Death of Rebecca (Clowser) Wood ~ born Noble County, Ohio
The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa
Thursday, May 9, 1907
REBECCA CLOWSER was born September 20, 1823, in Noble County, Ohio, and died in this city, May 7, 1907, from troubles peculiar to old age several weeks ago she was severely burned but these injuries had healed and it was thought her recovery was perfect but it may have had a telling effect on her vitality which did not at first appear. She was united in marriage to NIMROD WOOD on January 27, 1849, and to them were born four sons and one
daughter, one son dying at the age of 17. Her husband preceded her to the grave, passing to the unknown world several years since.
The surviving children are MRS. WILLIAM HOLMES, FRED ISAAC and J.H. WOOD. She came with her husband to Lucas County in an early day and together they carved a home out of the wilds, enduring the trials and privations of the first settlers and were rewarded in their old age with plenty. She was for more than forty years a professor of religion and ever held consistent to her faith. She bore life's trials with fortitude and has gone to a Christian's reward.
Funeral services are being held today at 2:00 o'clock p.m., conducted by her pastor, Elder D.L. Dunkelberger.

*I'm not sure if this should be WOOD or WOODS. It was spelled both ways in the obituary. Anyone know?
