Obituary for Matthew Wood.
Mr Matthew Wood of Blois Hall near Ripon, farmer, died on Thursday [5.5.1905] at the age of 62. after a long period of declining health. Mr Wood was among the best known of Yorkshire farmers, and was distinguished by his massive build, his conspicuous figure giving every indication of a sound and strong constitution. Of late years, however, Mr Wood has steadily been failing, much to the regret of his numerous friends.
The greater part of his life was spent at Ellington Hall, Low Ellington near Masham., where he had a wide spread reputation as a breeder & judge not only at the Royal and Yorkshire show but at various district agricultural shows.
His stock was also to be met with at all important shows, and he was a frequent prize winner. Mr Wood took an active and helpful interest in the Ripon Horticultural Assoc. and the Ripon Agricultural Society, the latter being associated with the annual show. He was on the council of both organisations.
A few years ago Mr Wood removed to the Blois Hall Farm which occupies an elevated position above Copt Hewick and is a well known landmark for many miles around Ripon.
He was succeeded at the Ellington Farm by his son.
Mr Wood was a churchman and was for 30 years churchwarden at Masham. He was in politics a Conservative. Mr Wood since coming to the Ripon district represented Hutton Conyers on the Wath Rural District Council and was a member of the Board of Guardians.
He leaves a grown up family and his sons are wll known agriculturalists.
