From the 'Turnback Tuesday' archives: Orris G. Wood featured

Orris G. Wood

Turnback Tuesday looks at a member of the Wood family. Orris G. Wood was the second son of Col. and Mrs. H. Holton Wood. Orris was born in 1886, and was one year younger than his brother, Harcourt, the namesake used for Derby Public Library. Orris graduated from Harvard in 1909 and went on to become Vice President of the State National Bank, then in a partnership with Eastbrook & Co. in Boston. Orris was married and had six children. He is 12 years old in this photo.
