     NATHAN S. WOODY, a farmer residing six and one-half miles east and two miles south from Hatton, is a native of Parke county, Indiana, born March 8, 1866.  He is the son of Mahlon and Susannah (Harvey) Woody, the father a native of North Carolina and the mother of Ohio.  The parents lived in Indiana until 1871, when they went to Illinois and from that state to Missouri, where they lived ten years.  Upon the death of the father the mother removed to Idaho, where she died in 1898.  They were the parents of eight children.
     Mr. Woody received a good common school education in Champion county, Illinois, and in Missouri, and upon attaining his majority he started in life independently by engaging in farming.  After two years he came to Washington in 1890 and farmed in Whitman county until 1898, when he came to Adams county and filed upon his present homestead.  He now has his land all fenced and well improved.
     In 1888 Mr. Woody was married to Addie Billow, to which union have been born three children, W. Clyde, Leroy A. and Clifford L. Mr. Woody is a conservative Republican in politics, and socially, he is a member of the Knights of Pythias fraternity.
     He is considered an intelligent and industrious farmer, a good citizen and a first-class neighbor.
