Born near Ashland Ohio, October 16, 1830. Her higher education, which was quite extensive, was obtained at the Vermillion Institute, Hayesville, Ohio, and at Olome Seminary, Canonsburg, Pennsylvania. She taught quite satisfactorily several District Schools in Ohio; and later, three or four terms near Yreka, California. In 1868, she, in company with her cousin, Jennie Thompson, took a trip by steamer to California, to visit her brother, Marshall Short, whom she had not seen for many years. She had previously given close attention to art studies, and had become quite skillful as an artist. She was married to AMOS WOODS, at Placerville, California, May 8, 1872. He was born in Lowell, Massachusetts, in 1826, where he also spent the early years of his life. He was an artist and photographer. From the time of his marriage until 1879, he carried on his business at Maryville, California. he then moved to Oakland, where he continued to prosecute his business until his death, in April, 1887. He was buried in the beautiful Cemetery at Oakland, California. They had no children. Since 1891, she lived with her brother, Marshall Short, at the Forest House, near Yreka, California, where her death took place, after quite a lingering illness, October 25, 1897. Her remains were taken to Oakland for interment and laid at rest beside the body of her husband. We trust she sleeps in Jesus.
