ERECTED

in memory of

Gen. HENRY WOODS,

Aged 70 years.

He served his country in her contest for the

obtainment of freedom and independence and

has since sustained with honor several important

offices both civil and military. He was no less endear-

ed to his family and connections by his disposition

to disseminate kindness and promote the social

virtues than to the community by his public spirit

and charity.
