From the University of Virginia archives ...... the following:
Samuel Baker Woods (1856-1952) of "Arrowhead," Albemarle County, Virginia. Woods, a lawyer, peach and apple orchardist, farmer, and former council member and mayor of Charlottesville (ca. 1890), was born in Wheeling, West Virginia, to the Reverend Edgar Woods (who served as pastor of the Charlottesville Presbyterian Church from 1866-1877) and Maria Baker. The Reverend Woods established the Pantops Academy (1879-1906) a Presbyterian school for boys to prepare young men for college, where Samuel Woods taught while attending the University of Virginia (1873-1877, 1879-1880). When he received his law degree in 1880, he began a law practive in Charlottesville.
On September 1, 1881, he married Lucretia Gilmore of Marion, Smyth County, Virginia, whose father, James Houston Gilmore, taught international and constitutional law at the University of Virginia. Sam and Lucretia had eight children who survived into adulthood: Dr. Edgar Lyons Woods (attended UVA 1900-1904), Washington, D.C.; Archibald Paull Woods (attended UVA 1914-1915), Petersburg; William Sharpless Derrick Woods (attended UVA 1918-1924), Richmond; Theodore K.
