Woodbry D. Craig
Death from a heart attack came suddenly to 85 year old Woodbry D. Craig Saturday night at the home of his son, Ray R.
Craig, with whom he has made his home the past fifteen years. While Mr. Craig has been an invalid for all the years
of his residence in Pasco, still he had seemed in his usual spirits Saturday and death came without warning. Mr. Craig
had prior to coming to Pasco, for years made his home in Alpena, Michigan where he owned and operated a furniture store.
When his health was impaired from a nervous breakdown in 1925, his son, brought him and Mrs. Craig to Pasco to make their
home with him. Woodbry D. Craig was born in Madison, Wisconsin July 6, 1855, leaving Wisconsin while still a small
child to make his home with his parents in southern Michigan. It is in Michigan that his boyhood days were spent and where
he had his schooling. Later Mr. Craig lived in Sanilak, Michigan, and was married in Sanilak. Most of his married life
was spent in Alpena where he had his furniture business. Besides his wife and his son, Ray, with whom he made his home in
Pasco, Mr. Craig is survived by a son, Vern, of Orofino, Idaho; and Clyde and Ralph both of whom lived in Chicago. His son,
Vern, came from Orofino upon hearing of his father’s death. Funeral services for Mr. Craig were held from the Lee-Perry
chapel at 11 o’clock Wednesday morning, with interment being made at Walla Walla.
