Notes

WOODRUFF, J.N.- (from The Fayetteville Daily, Saturday) J.N. Woodruff died at his home near Viney Grove yesterday morning of heart failure. He lived only 24 hours after being stricken. The remains were buried in the Prairie Grove cemetery today. Mr. Woodruff was 66 years old and his life had been spent in Washington County. He was a good and useful citizen and a devout Christian. His life was characterized by deeds of charity, brotherly love and neighborly kindness. Distress that he could relieve never appealed to him in vain. He was a devoted and faithful husband, an affectionate father and true friend. {Mr. Woodruff formerly lived in Springdale and had many friends here who learn of his death with much regret.} [The Springdale News 8/8/1902]
