Death claims Kitsap pioneer 1951
"A pioneer Bainbridge island lumberman and realtor who wrote colorful chapter in Kitsap county's history, John B. Wood, 89, died Monday in Winchester, Ohio. Arriving on Bainbridge in 1882, Wood went to work in a lumber camp. Eventually he became part-owner of Eagle Harbor Transportation Co. which operated the steamers Florence K and Bainbridge from Eagle Harbor to Seattle. When the county seat was moved from Port Madison to Sidney, which is now Port Orchard, Wood drove a yoke of oxen to move the county safe containing official records. In another historical move, he bought an old mansion on the present downtown site of the Seattle public library and moved it across the street where it became the Wood hotel. Wood lived in Seattle in recent years until three years ago when he moved to Ohio. Survivors in this vicinity include a stepson, H. C. Peabody of Rockaway Beach on Bainbridge island, and a niece, Mrs. Clara Smith of Seattle." |
