Son of Jonah M. Woodbery who was born 9-1-1815 in Marion County, South Carolina, and Harriet Tabitha Williams, who was born 2-26-1825 in Onslow County, NC. Jonah married Matilde Caroline Hinson, daughter of Augustine and Ruth Hinson, on November 10, 1869. Caroline who is listed as M C Woodbery on census lists, died in 1891. Jonah must have married Jonnie Clay (as spelled on 2 censuses), his second wife, soon after, because on the 1900 census, they have a daughter, Mabel, who is 4. However, the census take wrote they both had been married 30 years, which isn't accurate. Jonah had been married a total of 30 years, but that's counting Caroline and Jonnie. Census taker must have made an assumption that they had been married to each other all that time.
All of Jonah's children are with Caroline except for Mabel.∼Mr. J. M. Woodbery Spent Entire Life in Gadsden County
Mr. J. M. (Jonah Milton) Woodbery, a life long resident of Gadsden county, passed away Friday night about 7 p.m. at his home in Dogtown after an illness of more than eight months.
The funeral was held from the home Saturday afternoon with Rev. Burns officiating and interment was made in a private cemetery near the deceased man's home.
Mr. Woodbery was born in Gadsden county eighty five years ago and had always made his home in the county of his birth. He was for many years prominently identified with the farming and planting activities of the county and had a large plantation near Dogtown. However, for the past several years he had retired and rested from the labors of his younger life. The deceased man was very well known in this county and this entire section of the state and in south Georgia.
He leaves to mourn his death a wife and five children, all of whom live in Gadsden county. His children are, Mrs. M. G. Johnson, Mrs. L. L. Gee, Mrs. L. B. (Roberta) Ellinor, Dr. C. H. Woodbery and Mr. Traube Woodbery.
During his life Mr. Woodbery devoted much of his time to the interests of his community, his friends and his church, he being a devout member of the Methodist church. He was also a fraternally prominent man, being an esteemed member of the Masonic Order. Beloved and admired by hundreds of friends, he will be greatly missed and mourned. The funeral arrangements were in charge of N. J. Clark.
