HARRY WOODING (deceased), a representative
farmer and highly esteemed citizen of Cheshire,

was a great-grandson of John Wooding, a native
of New Haven, who, about 1750, removed from
North Haven to Woodbridge, and was the first of
the family to locate in the latter town.
Elijah Wooding, son of John, was born iii

being Thirza Hotchkiss, of Cheshire, by whom he
had two sons, Levi and Stephen. For his second

born four children, namely : Eunice, Olive, Thirza
and Uriah.
Stephen Wooding, son of Elijah, and father of
our subject, was born, reared and educated in
Woodbridge, now Bethany, and throughout his active
business life engaged in farming in that section
of the county. He married Miss Deborah
Bradley, also a native of Woodbridge, who died

1859. Thev had' four children : Henry, who was

Eliza Tuttle, who died in Naugatuck, Conn.; and
Harrv.

his education in the common schools of that town,
and later learned the machinist's trade, at which he
worked in different places in Connecticut and Massachusetts.
Coming to Cheshire in 1857. he purchased
a farm, and in connection with its operation
continued to work at his trade for some years.
Mr. Wooding was married in Cheshire, in 1865,

member of the Episcopal Church, of which his wife

supporter of the Democratic party. In all the relations
of life he was found true to every trust rejX)
sed in him, and he commanded the respect and
confidence of those with whom he came in contact.
Brave and patient under the sufferings of his last
illness, he was ever considerate of those about him,
