Sub Constable H. V. Woods was born in Kingston, ON. He joined the NWMP on March 28, 1874.
He died in 1905 and he is buried in Cataraqui Cemetery, Kingston, ON.
Mr. Woods' granddaughter, Susan Joiner sent in the photo of a receipt seen here.
Granddaugher Joiner says: 'Here is a scan of the original receipt for the plot for W.H.V. Woods. I treasure it and am thinking seriously of presenting it to the office to see if they will honour it and find space for more of the Woods familyl!!' What are the odds?
Best wishes.
Sue Joiner,
Granddaughter of OS 193, Sub Constable H. V. Woods
* PS 1: One can clearly read that the plot for Sub Constable Woods cost $20.00 in 1895.
** PS 2: Reg.# OS 193, Sub-Constable Woods and Reg.# OS 165, Sub-Constable T. Cherry must have been acquaintences as they both were from Kingston, ON and they both joined the North West Mounted Police (NWMP) on the same day: to wit, March 28, 1874. Is it pure coincidence or is it pure Canadian history?
