Description

A photo of Felix Woods and Family, ca. 1910.

Felix Woods (ca. 1852-aft. 1940) was a son of Lewis (ca. 1830-aft. 1880) and Louisa (ca. 1833-aft. 1880) Woods. In 1875 Felix was married to Mahala “Mahaley” Lovelace (ca.1854-1924).

The Woods lived off of Cloverdale Road on what is now Co. Road 6, near the current New Pisgah AME Church.

Felix was a farmer. According to the 1910 census Mahala had 9 children, three of whom had died by 1910. Mahala is buried in the Pisgah Cemetery, and probably Felix as well. Great-granddaughter Dianne Webster says the old house is still standing.

Pictured are Felix, Mahala, daughters Katie and Annie and a cousin, Ida Lovelace.
