WOODS.
CHARLES E. WOODS, son of George C. and Keziah D. (Metcalf) Woods; born Sept. 7, 1856; married first, Sept. 8, 1875, Emma A. Marston of Manchester. She died Aug. 6, 1893; married second, March 17, 1897, Mrs. Stella C. Avery, daughter of Thomas L. and Mary F. (Fuller) Geer, and widow of Frank T. Avery. She was born June 21, 1853.
Mr. Woods came to Lyndeborough in 1901, and bought the place just south of where John H. Goodrich lives. A son by a former marriage of Mrs. Woods, George R. Avery, born Feb. 15, 1888, lives with them.
WOODWARD.
There are two accounts of the origin of the name Woodward. One writer says the name is a compound one, derived from the words "wood " and "ward " or woodwarden, signifying a keeper of the forest. Another writer on English genealogy traces the name to the Norman Du Boiguarde and thence to the Norse Vidavarde. One Vidavarde equipped ten ships for the service of Rollo, first duke of Normandy, and for eminent service was granted an estate in Normandy. They came to England with Wil- liam the Conqueror. Nathan Woodward was standard bearer for a troop of horse in His Majesty's service and was the founder of the Standish Hall branch of the family. The name of this family in the Anglo-Nor- man is Du Boiguarde - Anglicized it is Woodward.
Richard Woodward in the year 1415 at the battle of Agincourt so dis- tinguished himself for valor and skill as to call forth the King's heartfelt thanks before the army at Windsor. The greyhound in the coat of arms signifies alertness, vigilance and fidelity and the ermin purity in the ad- ministration of justice.
Some of the family became imbued with the Puritan belief, and they were subsequently required to make oath that they keep their teachings within their own families, and rather than submit to such tyranny and being heavily fined for contumacy they resolved to emigrate to America.

HISTORY OF LYNDEBOROUGH
Woodward homestead on the north side of the mountain. When a young man he removed to Lowell, Mass., and went to work in the cotton mills, where he soon became an overseer. He was married in Lowell, his wife being a descendant on the mother's side of Israel Balch of Francestown. In 1836 he removed to Newburyport, Mass., and bought a cotton mill which he operated for a few years, but failing health com- pelled him to sell out his business, and he came back to Lyndeborough and bought out the store at the " centre," and was in business there for a while, then swapped the old store house for his father's farm and moved to the old homestead. In 1851 he again removed to Lowell and entered the employ of the Tremont and Suffolk Corporation as overseer of the carding and spinning room. He was prominent in the political and business affairs of the city and was an alderman in 1854. Wherever he lived he always affiliated himself with the church and Sabbath school, and was made a deacon of the John St. Congregational Church. He was a fine teacher of singing, and taught many schools in Lowell, New- buryport, and towns adjoining Lyndeborough. He was a good mechanic, and cotton manufacturing was his favorite business, but his health was such that he could not stand the dust and confinement of the cotton mill for long at a time. In 1859, failing health again compelled him to seek the out-door life of the farm, and he removed to Francestown, and bought the Kingsbury place, near his brother Abner's farm. Here he remained until the spring of 1862, when he came back to his native town, and bought the James Grant place north of Badger Pond, where he lived until his death. He was superintendent of schools and select- man and filled other places of trust in town. He was a man of unswerv- ing integrity of character and had the confidence and esteem of every community where he lived. Children : -
