Submissions on Woodruff’s Current Residents

We would like you to write a short history (about 1/2 page) about you & your spouse and list your children. A family picture (with names of those in the photo) would be nice.

Please include:

  • FULL NAMES
  • DATE and PLACE of BIRTH
  • DATE of MARRIAGE
  • OCCUPATIONS
  • Church and Civic SERVICE
  • Information on your life in Woodruff; Were you born here? When did you move here–into whose home?
  • You may want to include major adversities and/or spiritual experiences. Converts to the church may want to include when and where and by whom they were converted.

You can e-mail a copy of the picture, along with your short history to Brenda at the e-mail address on our Contact Us page. If you send a photo, it will probably be re-sized to fit the format of the book, so the size of the photo is not critical. Photos need not be colored, as the book will be published in black and white.

If you do not have a photo of your family to submit, contact me (Mathan Tenney) to arrange a quick photo session, and we will take care of it for you.

Please contribute by going to our Contact Us page, or bring your stories and pictures by Brenda Johnson’s house. If you need help putting your info. together, contact Brenda.

Note: We will not post any of your stories or information on this website without your written consent.
