~~~~~~~~~
Stephen Moses Woodham was born in Dale county, near Echo, April 14, 1834. He joined the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, in the 1858 upon profession of faith and conversion, having received baptism while he was an infant at the request of his mother, which act, he said, led him to the church in riper years. He said that if his mother had enough interest in his soul's salvation to dedicate him to God while he was but an infant, although the act did not within itself bind nor fasten upon him the full obligation to that or any particular church as a member, yet he felt the influence of a mothers love and care resting upon him which caused him to seek salvation in the pardon of his sins. But few churches existed in this country at the time he joined, but a few of those old time pious people, the pioners of an unhewn country, had congregated their plan of membership and erected a log church known as the Woodham church, but long since it has rotted down and the members attached themselves to the other churches which had been built for the convenience of the communities, he having annexed himself to the church at Old Mt. Zion.
He was happily married to Miss Sarah Amanda Galloway, in Henry county, Ala., Oct. 27, 1856. Their union was blessed with five children, two of whom are now living, but the others died in childhood.
He was a good soldier in the Civil war between the states and received a gun shot wound in his big toe and he took erysipelas which has. caused him much physical suffering, all of which he bore with patience and fortitude. His last illness was inflammatory rheumatism. He bore his sufferings without murmuring and was perfectly resigned to his death.
He died Sept. 28, 1904. Mr. Woodham was one of our most honorable citizens, a Mason of high standing and a man respected and loved by all who knew htm well. We have lost a most valuable man in his death, He has gone to his reward, and let the boys live the honorable, fine life he has lived.
