Note N371The following was taken from a compendium of businesses in Columbia, Tennessee (no date indicated)
Wm. Wood and Son.
Manufacturers of Chairs and Wool Carders
This important manufacturing enterprise was established in this city in 1866, by Wm. Wood & Sons, the firm as now constituted succeeding to the business in 1870, and in their keeping the business has been largely increased and extended. The factory grounds cover an area of 100 x 200 feet, and the buildings are in dimensions 60 x 80 feet and two stories high. The lower floor is divided into a wood shop and wool carding room, and the upper into a paint and finishing shop. The motive power is derived from a ten horse power steam engine located on the lower floor. From 8 to 10 assistants are employed in the various departments, and the firm turns out a superior grade of split and cane bottom chairs in large quantities, which they sell to the trade and to the public generally.
In addition to the manufacture of chairs, Messrs. Wood & Son transact a large business in wool carding, having two large wool carding machines constantly at work. They have also just introduced a new steam process for renovating old and new feathers, which for a mere trifle enables their customers to have old feathers made new, fresh, and free from dirt and unpleasant odors. The firm consists of Wm. Wood and A.D. Wood. The senior, Squire Wood, has been, and now is, one of the justices of the peace and notaries public for this county, a position to which he has been elected by his fellow-citizens who, appreciating his ability and competency, have more than once testified by their votes to the esteem in which they hold him. Mr. A. D. Wood, the junior, upon whom devolves the active management of the factory, is one of the most active and progressive young business men of Columbia, and has, by his careful business methods and untiring energy, succeeded in building up a large business, and one that adds much to the claims of Columbia as a successful manufacturing center.
(Note: A.D. Wood is Alonzo Dwight Wood)
An item from "Maury County Miscellancy" in one of the Strickand books on Maury County: "William Wood operated a wook carding plant and chair factory on Glade St., between 7th and 8th. (from Recollections of Columbia from 1875-1885, by Oscar Green)
This item from Maury County deeds: " C-2/221-- 21 February 1848--WILLIAM WOOD, Trust Deed for Wool Factory to JAS. PULLIAM." This no doubt reflects one of Wm. Wood "Squire"' manufacturing enterprises which would later come to fruition in a successful wood working factory in Columbia, Tennessee. His probably brother, Luther Wood, was also involved in such enterprises and operated a cotton gin. Both brothers seem to have had signifcant mechanical training.
William Wood was a Past Grand Master of the Tennessee Independent Order of Odd Fellows.
William Wood and Luther Wood appear together for the first time in the 1836 tax list, Maury County District 12 (the area around Mount Pleasant). Likewise, they appear together in 1837 for the first time in the Lewis County tax rolls. This strong indication that they arrived in Tennessee together, probably late 1835 or 1836, and are probably related, probably brothers.
This item, culled from original records, appears in one of the Strickland books for Maury County: "Mr. Woods, a Northern man, was professor of mathematics at Jackson College." Could this have been William or probable brother Luther Wood? There were probably not too many other "Northern" men named Wood in the community, but this, of course, is only speculation.
