    • E.P. Woodson
      The new year of 1950 found E.P. Woodson, another Jefferson county pioneer, leaving his accustomed tasks here for entrance into that greater sphere of usefulness. He passed away January 2 in the Comanche hospital where he had been a patient for only two weeks. Before that time he had been lovingly cared for by his daughter, Mrs. I.E. Wells, with whom he had lived since the death of Mrs. Woodson in 1930.
      Funeral services were Tuesday afternoon, January 3, at the Methodist church in Comanche, with Rev. Bounds and Rev. O. Troy Thomas, Comanche, officiating. Interment was in the Comanche cemetery under the direction of the Boydstun Funeral Home.
      Eddie Pearl Woodson was born March 19, 1876, in Paris, Mo. He grew up there but harkened to the call of Oklahoma when a young man and came to Waukomis, living there and having charge of an elevator while the M.C. Groseclose family also were residents there. The daughter of the family was born there and in 1902 Mr. and Mrs. Wood son and their baby moved to Waurika. A carpenter, along with other professions, Mr. Woodson had a part in constructing several buildings in this young and very new town.
      The Woodsons located on the farm northwest of Waurika known as the Lum Wright place and lived there for 16 years. They then moved 10 miles north of Waurika and he has lived there continuously since.
      A devout Methodist, he built his life as he constructed buildings in an early day hre, on a foundation which was safe and secure. He was a conscientious worker, just and upright in his dealings with his fellowman and a devoted husband and father.
      He is survived by Mrs. Wells and two sons, Delbert E. Woodson of Kilgore, Texas, and Harold E. Woodson of Wichita, Kansas. They were all present for the farewell services. There are also seven grandchildren and three great grandchildren of his own family and a brother, J.A. Woodson of Oklahoma City who survive and mourn the loss of a truly good man.
