When the R. & A. R. R., now C. & O., was building up the James River, 1879-80, Wood was quite young, but he ran a general mercantile store on his own hook at different points along the line, as the road progressed, and when it was completed in 1881, he sold out his mercantile business and went to Wilson Co. TN, where his three older brothers were then living. He then entered into the live stock business from which he accumulated quite an estate, and was said to be one of the best judges of the weight of live cattle in Middle Tennessee.
On Thursday, Dec. 11, 1913, at 3:00am, at a local infirmary, M. W. Omohundro, only 17 days from his 58th birthday, passed from this life.
