His father was John William WOODS and his mother was Mary Ophelia CAMPBELL. I have found them in the 1920 census for Keevil Township, Monroe County. My mother Billie Jean WOODS tells me Keevil was just a couple of buildings at a cross-road. I am looking to find a marriage license for John William and Mary Ophelia or any other information.
