  	Article in the Oregonian indicated his death on 20 July 1919, but it said it was citing the 19 July 1919 edition of another newspaper. Clearly some minor date discrepancy here. FindAGrave indicates a 10 July 1919 death date.

  	Wm Wood's 1919 obituary indicates his marriage to Elizabeth Tatom "near Salem" after he returned from California and the Gold Rush (after 1949). Elizabeth's family arrived in October 1853 and it is likely that she was married soon after, possibly 1854. She had four children prior to 1859, the first, Columbus, born about 1855.
