Death of Peter William Woodlief
This well known citizen died yesterday
afternoon from general debility, after a
long but almost painless illness. His age
was 74 years and 8 months. he had been a
resident of this city for the past fifty years.
His birth place was Smoky-Ordinary, Bruns-
ville (sic) county, Va. He came thence to New
Orleans, while yet a young man, and en-
gaged in the dry goods business. He was
first a member of the firm of West, Oliver
& Woodlief, and afterwards established the
house of Woodlief & Duverier. In 1860 he
was the junior partner in the firm of Legen-
dre & Woodlief, which continued up to the
war. In his younger days he had been a
leading merchant in his line. His later
years were not propered (sic) by fortune, but he continued on in active life as of old -- genial
and kind to all. To his stricken ones are
tendered our sympathy in their bereavement.
