In Memoriam
By the death of Wm. H. Woodrow another one of the connecting links with the pioneer settlement of our place has been severed. He died on Sunday, November 11, 1888.
Mr. Woodrow, about one year since, was stricken by paralysis, from which he never recovered. He was closely confined to his home after his illness, and was not often seen abroad.
He died in the 73rd year of his age.
William Henry Woodrow was the only son of "Uncle Isaac" Woodrow and "Aunt Polly" Woodrow, as they were affectionaly known by the community. He was born in Stevensburg, Culpepper County, Virginia and was brought by his parents to Hillsboro at a very early age, in which place he lived and died.
Wm. H. Woodrow, while engaged in business in Kentucky, met and married Miss Sarah Collins, who returned with him to Ohio, and where they settled for the remainder of his life.
He has filled various positions of trust and responsibility, was elected Auditor of Highland County and performed the duties of that office from March 5, 1849, to March 5, 1855, having been re-elected during the interval.
In 1859, he was appointed Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas of Highland served until 1861.
In this year, at the call of his country, he enlisted in the 11th O.V.C. and was appointed Quarter Master of the Regiment.
After the close of the war he was chosen as Clerk of the U. S. Bankrupt Court in this District, in which capacity he served until the repeal of the Bankrupt law.
In all these various trusts, both civic and military, he discharged the duties to the satisfaction of his friends and the public generally.
In private live a devoted friend to education, morality and the peace and good order of society, but more conspicuous was his devotion to educational privileges, having inherited from his father, "Uncle Isaac," who was a pioneer school master, a full knowledge of the value of a thorough education.
Mr. Woodrow filled an important position in the circle of his immediate friends and relations.
He was a living genealogical record of births, marriages, names and dates. As a citizen he enjoyed the highest esteem of his neighbors and acquaintances. True to the pioneer education, he was candid to a fault, generous and hospitable, faithfully discharging every duty that devolved upon him to the best of his ability.
His views upon religion were that of a simple faith, and consisted in obedience to God, and love to his fellow man. He did not enjoy himself in the strife of congregations or the clashing of creeds. He believed in his Maker, and upon Him, and Him alone, he cast his burden.
