Charles Franklin Wood's Obituary
Charles Franklin Wood, 93, of Hettinger, ND passed away at West River Regional Medical Center in Hettinger, ND. Private family services are being held at a later date.
CHARLES FRANKLIN WOOD, eldest child of Charles William and Agnes (Fillian) Wood was born on September 2, 1913 at Bruce, Wisconsin. The family moved to Montana where Charles was raised and educated. He graduated from Mildred High School as the Valedictorian of his class.
On March 23, 1939 Charles was united in marriage to Anna Laura Ehman at Miles City, MT. Charles was employed by the Milwaukee Railroad as a Depot Agent, living and working in many places including, Mildred, MT, Bowman, Scranton, Buffalo Springs, and in 1946 Reeder, ND. This would become home and where they raised their three sons, Bruce Charles, Dean William and George Grant. Charles retired in 1978.
Taking an active part in his community, Charles was a charter member of the Reeder Lions Club, helped organize the Boy Scouts and was a Scout Leader. He also was a member of the Hettinger Masonic Lodge, El Zagel Shrine of Dickinson, and the West River Shrine of Lemmon, SD.
Bowling at the Reeder Bowling Alley and golfing at the Reeder Golf Course were some of his favorite sports. However, topping that, he enjoyed fishing with his sons and grandchildren.
Charles and Laura enjoyed many years of retirement, traveling and taking many trips with Rev. Juells. In 1997 Charles and Laura moved to Hettinger, ND. Making new friends and playing cards would make their day. Laura Wood passed away in December of 2005. Charles entered the Hillcrest Care Center in June of 2004 and on June 19, 2007 he passed away at West River Regional Medical Center in Hettinger.
Grateful for having shared in his life are his sons, Bruce (Shirley)Wood, Atlanta, GA, Dean (Kay) Wood, Plymouth, MN and George (Barb) Wood, Gillette, WY; two sisters, Dorothy Whitling, Puyallup, WA and Beulah Ray, Great Falls, MT; eight grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren.
