"The grave of a stranger, whose only known name was Wood, may be pointed out. He died somewhat suddenly while in Romney, and some one manifested enough interest in him to mark his grave. No one knows whence he came, nor whether he had a family. For years, perhaps, some one waited for his return, and never knew his fate. But, the very fact that he was a stranger caused him to be remembered, while those whose lives were spent in Romney have been forgotten." Quoted courtesy of "History of Hampshire County, West Virginia, from its earliest settlement to the present (1897)" by Hu Maxwell & H.L. Swisher
