from the Janesville Daily Gazette, Sept. 26, 1902:
Royal Wood, one of the most prominent pioneers of this city where he had made his home for over sixty years, died very suddenly this morning at 11:30 o'clock, after having suffered a severe stroke of paralysis. His death occurred at the home of his son, Frank Wood, 210 West Bluff St., with whom he resided.
Mr. Wood seemed in his usual good health this morning when he arose about six o'clock, but later he complained of a numbness in his left hand and on his way to the breakfast table he nearly fell to the floor. At the table the fork fell from his nerveless hand, and his daughter-in-law, realizing what had happened telephoned for Dr. James Mills...
Deceased was eighty-three years of age and during his long residence in this city he was vitally interested in its progress. He took a prominent part in the business life of the city, being engaged in the livery business until he retired in prosperous circumstances several years ago. He was held in the highest esteem and in his young manhood he served the county as register of deeds. Since the death of his wife, three years ago, he had made his home with his son.
Three sons are left to mourn his death, they being Frank Wood, Jr., of this city, Royal Wood Jr., of San Diego, Cal., and Wesley Wood of Chicago...
