In Memoriam 559
State. In financial circles he had
attained success and a
creditable record. He was a trusted
counselor and a
man whose judgment was highly regarded
by his fel-
low members on the Board of Trustees
and the staff of
the Society.
Mr. Wood was born in Bradford County,
Pennsyl-
vania, October 3, 1863. In 1879 he came
to Columbus
where he was subsequently identified
with different
financial institutions. In 1922 he was
made General
Manager of the Ohio State Savings
Association and had
since that date held this position.
Through his entire
residence in Columbus he had been an
enthusiastic and
efficient worker in the Congregational
Church. He is
survived by his widow, Mrs. Jessie B.
(McKim) Wood
and a granddaughter Jessie Marie Wood.
At this meeting his sudden departure is
especially
felt as it comes so close to the date
at which he planned
to be with us again.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be for-
warded to his wife and granddaughter as
an evidence of
our respect and sincere sympathy in
their sudden and
sad bereavement.

Leaves have their time to fall,
And flowers to wither at the north
wind's breath,
And stars to set,--but all,
Thou hast all seasons for thine own, O
Death!
Thou art where billows foam,
Thou art where music melts upon the
air;
Thou art around us in our peaceful
home,
And the world calls us forth--and thou
art there.
