Notes
a. Note:   William F. Wood was a great neighborhood baseball player. He played first base and was the best hitter on the team. Jerry Cubage, who played on the team said that Will would hit a home run, trot to third base then walk home on his hands. Will also had a dark side, he liked to drink whiskey and would get drunk, run his family off and stay drunk for a week. He was killed in a sawmill accident at Barham, Ouachita County, Arkansas. He was working at Bryant's Mill making furniture squares on a rip saw when the saw caught a piece and threw it back, hitting him in the groin, rupturing a blood vessel. He died almost instantly. He left a wife and five children, in a day when there was no welfare relief, except for what the neighbors furnished. Fred was seventeen and became the bread winner for the family. Emma pushed a planter and planted a crop while Fred did the plowing with the one mule that they had. Later Fred and Roy got a job stacking furniture squares, at the mill where Will was killed. In the late thirties, Emma worked at a Canning Kitchen and later at a Sewing Room at Chidester. Never has a woman had a harder way to raise a family than Emma had. Reference: Death Certificate.
