His second wife was Fannie Stovall, a daughter of the late Joseph and Permelia Corn Stovall. Her death occurred in 1936. Other survivors include Mrs. Harger and Mrs. Edwards, are two brothers, Sparrel Asa Wood of Washington, D.C. and Jefferson Pinkard Wood of Floyd, 9 grandchidlren and 8 great grandchildren.

Funeral services were held Sunday at 2 PM at the Stuart Primitive Baptist Church of which he had been a member for the past 18 years. Services were in charge of Elders Joel E. Marshall and D.P. Helms with music by the Stuart Baptist Church quartet. The body lay in state at the church for an hour preceding the service. Burial was in the family cemetery near the home. The many beautiful flowers and the large number present at the church and the graveyard were evidence of the high esteem in which he was held by all who knew him. Pallbearers were Judge John D. Hooker, Honorable W.L. Joyce. A.C. Turner, Murray E. Thompson, Fay Roberson and three grandsons G.C. Wood, D.C. Spencer, and G. Bruce Spencer.

Mr. Wood was active in the uplifting of his community and in the schools of Patrick County, having served as trustee. At the time of his death, he was a member of the Patrick County School Board trustee Electoral Board. Mr. Wood was keenly interested in the political affairs of the county and state. He represented his county in the House of Delegates in 1908-1909 and was a former Commissioner of Revenue from Smith River District. At the time of his death, he was a member of the Patrick County Democratic Committee and had formerly served as its chairman. He had been a judge of elections for about 50 years and served in this capacity at his precinct on his 93rd birthday last November 3. His many friends mourn the passing of this distinguished citizen who was so closely identified with Patrick County's growth and development in which he played a major part.
