Marshal Walter W. Wood

Walter W. Wood

Marshal Walter Wood was electrocuted while attempting to move a wire that had blown down across a street in the east side of the town during a period of high wind.

Several passersby used a stick to move the wire from his hand and pull him away from it. It was discovered that he had been standing on wet ground when he attempted to move the wire.

Marshal Wood had served as the town marshal for eight years. He was survived by his wife and 1-year-old daughter.
