            Howard B. Woodward
            22nd Illinois Infantry
            By: John Edmonds

            Howard Woodward enlisted in the 22nd Illinois Infantry on January 14th 1862 in Galesburg, Illinois. He was discharged on June 27th 1862 when the 22nd Infantry was consolidated into the 40th Illinois Infantry. Howard then waited a short period and reenlisted on October 17th 1862 and mustered out July 8th 1865 having fought through the entire war. Howard was disabled in the later months of the war.
            Howard Woodward was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1845. Following the war he was placed in a home for disabled soldiers. Howard then traveled to Los Angeles, California where he was in a similar home in the City of Sawtelle in 1900.
            By 1920 Howard had improved enough that he came to San Mateo County and purchased property and became a farmer in that year. He remained in San Mateo County for the rest of his life. Howard Joined the Grand Army of the Republic chapter in Redwood City and was part of that organization when he died and he was buried in the Grand Army’s plot in Union Cemetery. Howard died in 1930.
            Howard Woodward’s father Benjamin was from England and His mother Amanda was from Ireland. The census shows that while he was in Redwood City and 84 years of age he was married.

              Obituary

              Martin Woolf
              104th Ohio Infantry Company “I”
              By John Edmonds

              The 104th Ohio Infantry Regiment was organized at Camp Massillon, Ohio and mustered in August 30, 1862. They were moved to Kentucky in September fighting against Kirby Smith and John Morgan. In September 1863 they began fighting through the Cumberland Gap. They fought in defense of Knoxville then joined Sherman’s army and fought through the Atlanta campaign, participating in all the battles. The unit lost 60 men at the battle of Franklin. The unit was mustered out on June 17th 1865.
              Martin Woolf was in San Mateo County during the California Voter Registration of 1882. He passed away on February 24th 1908 and was buried in the Grand Army of the Republic plot in Union Cemetery.
              I received a letter from a Barbara White who wrote: “I would like to mention that my Grandfather, Martin Woolf, was honored to unveil the first statue of the soldier. I was told this by my mother, Blanche Woolf Burridge. When she was a young girl she had accompanied him as they marched from Redwood City to the cemetery. According to her it was a warm Memorial Day for the dedication of the statue. My grandfather is buried in the plot with the other soldiers.”
              Martin Woolf probably received the honor of unveiling the statue because he was the commander of the Grand Army of the Republic during most of the final years of the unit’s existence.
