H. R. WOODARD TAKEN BY DEATH
Came West in 1882 and Settled Near Millwood
Funeral services for Howard Ritner Woodard, who came here in a covered wagon train 62 years ago with his parents and took the well-known Woodard homestead near Millwood, will be held Wednesday afternoon from the Ball & Dodd Funeral home. He died Sunday in a hospital here.
Woodard is survived by his two brothers, Seth and Harry Woodard of Millwood. He was a member of the Spokane County Pioneers' society, Spanish-American War Veterans, the Odd Fellows and the Methodist church.
Howard Woodard was born at Pottawatomie, Kan., in the turbulent days shortly after the close of the Civil war. His father, the late Joseph S. Woodard, a Civil war veteran, was a civil engineer and helped survy parts of Kansas. In 1882 he brought his family to Spokane Falls.
The family settled near Millwood on what is now the Argonne road. The homestead was north of Trent road, now covered with residences. At the time the homestead was taken, most of the Spokane valley was traveled by Indian trails and the only school in the vicinity was the one in Spokane, a territorial village.
Drove a Wagon Freight
For several years Woodard drove a picturesque two-wagon freight, to which were attached some 30 or 40 mules. The Northern Pacific railroad had tapped the terrirory, and these wagons served as the branch feeders. After driving this kind of an outfit for a number of years, he was in the truck and dray business with John Caughey. This was about 1890. He then was with the old C. & C. flour mills, but in 1898 enlisted here with the L. company, First Washington volunteers.
Woodard served as quartermaster sergeant in the Philippine islands and was under fire many times. When the company returned here in November, 1899, the whole city turned out for the holiday. He then served for many years more with the C. & C. mill, and later was with the Inland Empire Paper company at Millwood until retirement.

I found Adelia living in a mental hospital 1910-1930. There is an infant buried here in the cemetery with Howard that I believe was the child of Howard & Adelia.
