Courier and Freeman April 1, 1875
Stockholm - Another of the first settlers of this town has gone to her rest. Mrs. Almira Woodward died March 22nd, aged 85 years. She was the daughter of Dr. Luman Pettibone and was married to Alba Woodward July 20th, 1808. Hers was the first marriage solemnized in this town. For many years that she has entertained the younger people by relating interesting incidents connected with the early settlement of the town. We understand that she was the last surviving member of the Pettibone family in the section; a family, by the way, that did more toward building up good society and imparting a healthy tone to the moral sentiment of the inhabitants than any who have since lived among us. For several years the deceased has lived with her son, Wm. W. Woodward. The family is at present very much afflicted, Mr. W. and his wife both being very sick, while their son, who lives in the same house, buried today his little girl aged 2-1/2 years and also has an infant son very sick. The sympathies of the people in the eastern section of the town are much awakened and all is being done that charity can suggest to minister to their necessity.
