Judge Joseph Wood
Ironton Register, Thursday, November 27, 1851
Another Pioneer Gone – Hon. Joseph Wood, one of Ohio’s early settlers and oldest citizens, died at his residence early yesterday morning. Judge Wood was for many years a Surveyor of the Public Lands in the Northwestern Territory and subsequently, for a long time, registered of the Land Office in this place.
His age, we think, was about 94 years. His physical and mental powers remained unimpaired until a few days after his death. Not one survives of those who came to the Northwest Territory in the vigor of manhood when it was a wilderness. – Marietta Intellgenear.
