Note 1

Ceph Woods, highly respected citizen of this county who resided on the ol Dickson homestead at Apple Spur between Bentonville and Rogers, died Monday morning and was buried at Oakley Chapel cemetery Tuesday. In January the deceased had an attack of flu, following by complications from which he never recovered. (Benton County Record - Bentonville, Arkansas - May 23, 1919 - obit submitted by flwillingham)

"Cephas David Woods, son of John R. and Margaret A. Woods of precious memory, was born at he family residence four miles east of Bentonville, January 25, 1864. His whole life was quietly but honorably spent in this community. December 25, 1897 he was united in the sacred bonds of matrimony with Elizabeth E. Deason and to this happy union were born four children, a son and three daughters. He was not a member of any church but evidently, for many years, had lived an humble and upright life. A few days before his death he told the undersigned that he accepted the Lord Jesus CHrist as his Savior and had submitted all into his hands. At 4 o'clock a.m. on the 19th he peacefully departed this life.

He is survived by his beloved companion, a devoted son, William Glenn, and three amiable daughters, Gladys Irene, Jeenie Grace and Annie, five brothers, Jno. R. of Burley, Idaho; Dewitt C. of New Mexico, Finis Holmes of Enterprise, Ore.; CHas. Richard of Rogers; Clyde of Miami, Okla., a beloved stepmother, Mrs. Jennie Woods, and scores of other relatives and friends as numerous as his acquaintances. The funeral service was held at Oakley chapel by the writer, assisted by Dr. H. W. Steen and Rev. A. J. Deason and was attended by several hundred people. The remains were laid to rest at Oakley Chapel cemetery. P. Carnahan
