- Memories of grandpa George Wood (jr.) by Lee Carlson
Grandfather George Wood, [Jr.] was a short fellow, about five foot five/ s ix inches tall and very distinguished looking. I only knew him, when h e w as older and he had nice grey hair and wore a goatee, without mustach e. H e was born February 1, 1840, in Slaithwaite, Yorkshire, England. Th e stor y is told, that, at about age 16, he came from England with his mo ther, R ebecca Shaw Wood, with two of his sisters, Alice and Mary, and hi s brothe r, John—coming across the plains with handcarts. His parents, Ge orge Woo d (born Jan 26, 1813) and Rebecca Shaw had been married Februar y 25, 1838 . The family joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day S aints in En gland and wished to come and join the Saints in Utah. He rece ived his end owments March 29, 1866, possibly serving a mission, and wa s then marrie d and sealed June 21, 1869 in the Endowment House, Salt Lak e City to Mar y Hirst.
In 1912, Grandpa sold the Wellsville area farm, took a vacation, to hi s h omeland—England--and visited his sons in Rexburg. All of them had hom este aded in Rexburg years earlier. Then, he moved to Logan, where he bou ght t wo 4-room [duplex?] homes at 460 South Main Street. Grandpa lived i n on e home; and my Aunt Ellen (his sister), lived in the other. Aunt Ell en to ok care of his needs until he died December 28, 1924, nearly 85 yea rs old . He was buried inWellsville.
