Josiah Alonzo Wood
I have an old studio photograph identified as J. A. WOOD which was taken at the Bogardus Studio in New York City, NY. The photograph looks like it was taken in the 1880's with Mr. WOOD appearing to be in his 20's or 30's. The photograph was with a group of photographs which appear to belong to the Class of 1884 at the Union Theological Seminary in New York City, NY. I believe that this is a photograph of Josiah Alonzo WOOD.

Based on limited research and thanks to the assistance of genealogists I was able to gather the following information regarding Josiah and his family:

Josiah Alonzo WOOD was b. 6 Nov 1852 in Morristown, VT to parents Leonard WOOD (1810-1882) and Angeline Gibbs RIPLEY (1815-1875). Josiah was one of 5 children born to this couple including Lorenzo Leonard; David Ripley; Alma Angeline; Josiah Alonzo; and Mary Ella WOOD, all born between 1843 and 1858.

Josiah graduated from Dartmouth in 1878 and the Union Theological Seminary in 1884 and was ordained on 30 Dec 1884. Josiah preached in Durand, WI from 1884-1886 and then in Baraboo, WI from 1887-1891. After those assignments he moved to Sauk Centre, MN from 1892-1895 and then onto Ridgefield, IL from 1896-1900. In 1900 he left the ministry and went into business in Brooklyn, NY.

Josiah married Martha Caldwell ORLADY (b. 1863) on 10 or 20 Oct 1887 in Durand, WI. The couple had two children including Elizabeth Orlady WOOD (1889-1985) and Paul Orlady WOOD (b. 1890). Josiah died 22 Jan 1929 in Richmond, VA.

I would like to get this photograph to his family and would appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this family or know someone who might be.

Thanks,
Shelley
Date & Place: at A. Bogardus Studio in New York, New York United States
