Emeline Allen Wood was born in Alfred, N. Y., Jan. 24, 1828, and died in Tacoma, Washington, April 25, 1892.
At the age of 14 she went with her parents to Wisconsin, where she became a member of the Milton Church. On the starting of the academy at Milton she attended school there awhile and then returned to Alfred to continue her studies, graduating in the class of 1852. Returning to Wisconsin she taught for some time, and then went to Minnesota as a teacher. Marrying here, she made her home, during the life of her husband, and for some time after, at Albert Lea. For the past few years she has lived with her daughter, Miss D. Jennie Wood, a teacher in the Tacoma city schools. During her varied, care-encumbered, and toilsome life, she remained true to her Christian profession, ever loyal to the Sabbath, ripening into a beautiful life and character. J. A.
