Following is a brief sketch of his life: S B Atwood was born in Cortland County, New York, February 27, 1820, son of Mills and Charlotte (Day) Atwood, both natives of the Empire State. The father, a weaver by trade, passed his life and died in Columbia County, New York, at the age of eighty-three years. The mother died in 1823. She was a member of the Friends Church. They had four children: David, Gideon, Stephen B, and Jane, all of whom have passed away save the subject of this sketch. Mr Atwood was educated in Onondaga County, New York, and in erie County, Pennsylvania, having resided at the latter place from 1837 until 1843. The last named year he came to Conneaut and engaged in the harness and carriage business, continueing the same until 1878. That year he turned his attention to the granite business, and as traveling agent for the Ryegate Granite Works of Vermont, was on the road for five years. In 1887 he was appointed Postmaster of Conneaut, which position he filled until 1891, when his commission expired. As the incumbent of that office he rendered excellent service, giving entire satisfaction to all. Since 1891 he has been engaged in the insurance business, and since 1892 has been a Justice of the Peace. He was married in Conneaut, January 15, 1843, to Miss Charlotte E Phillips, daughter of Gardner Phillips of Perrington, Monroe County, New York. They had three children: Edwin Gardner, Minnie C, and Lee C. Edwin C Atwood was associated with his father in the carriage business for many years, and was afterward and up to the time of his death in the employ of the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railroad Company, as freight agent, being a man of excellent business qualifications. He was a member of the Masonic Order and also of the I O O F. Of the last named lodge he was elected Noble Grand and his death occurred the very evening he would have been installed in office, January 21, 1891. He died at the age of forty-three. His wife, nee Marion Brown, a native of Scotland, is also deceased. They left three children: Charlotte D, William S, who is in the office of E A Miller, master mechanic of Nickel Plate Railroad Company, at Conneaut, and Burt. Minnie C, the daughter of our subject, was engaged in teaching in Conneaut for several years, but at present presides over her father's home. Lee C, is Deputy Postmaster of Conneaut, having occupied this position for nearly ten years, which circumstance in itself speaks well for his ability. S B Atwood has taken a deep interest in the moral and educational development of Conneaut. He has served as Mayor of the city, for twenty-five years has been a member of the School Board, and has also held other minor offices in the city. He is a member of the I O O F, having filled all the chairs in the subordinate lodge. He takes little active interest in politics, but vots with the Democratic party. Alonzo Atwood, MD, a resident of Middlefield township and one of the large land owners there, was born in Huntsburg township, Geaga county, Ohio, March 11, 1832, a son of Lemuel Atwood, a native of New York state. His grandfather, Joseph Atwood, was also a native of New York, but belonged to an old New England family whose first ancestors in this country settled at Salisbury, Connecticut; he was a farmer by occupation, and lived to the age of ninety years. Lemuel Atwood, father of the Doctor, followed agricultural pursuits. He was married in Pensylvania, but afterward removed to Geauga county, when there were few families residing in Middlefield township. He built a log cabin in the woods and began the task of clearing a farm fro the heart of the forest. He died at the age of seventy-seven years, having led an industrious and useful life. He married Lydia Butler, of Pennsylvania, and they had a family of four children. The mother died at the age of seventy years; she was a member of the Disciples' Church, the first religious organization in the township. Mr Atwood was a Whig and later a Republican in his political belief. Dr Atwood is the fourth of the family. His opportunities for acquiring an education in his youth were limited, although he enjoyed the advantages afforded by the select schools. At the age of nineteen years he began reading medicine, and made a special study of the drugs and herbs growing in the section. He attended the old Eclectic Medical College at Cincinnati for one term, and was graduated from the American Eclectic College at Cincinnati. He began practicing his profession at the age of thirty-two years, being associated with his brothers, who were both physicians. He married in 1860 to Cordelia S Gray, who was born in this township, and they have a family of two children, Harley J and John L. Dr Atwood was engaged in practice at Whitehall, Muskegon county, Michigan, but returned to this county, where he has a good practice, in Middlefield township and West Farmington, his professional service being in demand throughout a wide territory. In addition to his professional work he superintends the cultivation of 273 acres in Middlefield township and fifty-three acres in another tract south of the main body. Some of the farm is grazing land, and it is the Doctor's purpose to put it all in grass. He spends his winters in Florida and has made some investments in the "Sunny South", owning 160 acres in Polk county, Florida. ALthough he began without capital he has accumulated a handsome estate. He has aided largely in the development of his own county's agricultural resources, and is numbered among the most enterprising citizens, both in farming and professional circles. Politically, he supports the principles of the Republican party. - --------------------------------------- Wisconsin, Dodge Cemetery submitted by Eugene Emery Beaver Dam Cemetery - Lot 45 B1 L William H Atwood, born 1812, died May 13, 1907, age 94 Delana , born 1816, buried Feb 3, 1895 Edgar J , born 1848, buried Dec 19, 1917 Mrs Ruth , born 1855, buried Jan 3, 1927 Ethel (Etta) , born 1875, died June 2, 1904, age 28 - ------------------------------------- We Get Letters Dear Claudette I have still not managed to find the birth of my 2 Great Grandfather Charles Attwood, born 1828, though there is a possibility I may have found his parents in the 1851 Cesus, Charles and Ann, who were living in Stepney [England], he was born in Great Hampton, Worcester and she in St Anne, Middlesex, so they probably met and married in London. His occupation was a Sawyer, but all the references I have to Charles' father on the marriage certificate say he was a Labourer, though he would have been in his fifties by that time and may have been infirm and not able to follow his trade. I cannot prove anything until I know the christian name of his mother, it will turn up one day. If it proves positive the Registers fro Great Hampton are still with the Vicar, so I shall either have to visit him or order a microfilm from Salt Lake City as they are not on the IGI yet but have been filmed. I have not been able to copy the Births from St Catherine House Indexes... but I am enclosing the ATWOODs from 1837 to September 1851.....

He married Mary Atwood who was born in Vermont. I don't know where the marriage took place, but their first son was born in Westford, Vermont 5 Nov 1832. Louis White and Mary Atwood moved to Westport, New York about 1838, then to Hopkinton, New York by 1845, and to Dickinson, New York by 1853. Louis died and was buried in Nicholville, NY. Mary Atwood migrated with her children in about 1869 to Anita, Iowa. I don't know where she died and was buried, but I suspect it was in Anita, IA about 1891.
