A large party of Princeton people left the first of the week for Prineville, Oregon, to prove up on their stone and timber claims. On Monday Mike Mahoney, Fred Reems and Wm. Oakes left for the west and on Tuesday the party that started consisted of Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Woodcock, E. M. Farnham, Harry H. Farnham, W. P. Chase of Foley Bean Lumber Co. Mrs. Tomes who formerly lived in Princeton will join the party at points in Montana. They are all to appear at the land office on the ninth of this month to make final proof. Ernest Sellhorn and Charles Oakes left for the same place last week and will meet the party at Prineville. Most of the folks will be gone only a short time, but E. M. Farnham will remain on the Pacific coast for some time visiting relatives and friends. He will return home early in the spring via the southern route.

A. W. Woodcock and son, Fremont, are sojourning at America’s weather factory – Medicine Hat, Canada. Fremont wrote this week for the Union, saying that he and his father were anxious to receive news from “the old country.” (The Princeton Union, Thursday, April 29, 1909, Volume XXXIII, Number 18, Page 5)
Miss Bertha Woodcock and her brother, Fremont, will leave for Medicine Hat Saturday. Fremont came down from the weather factory last week. (The Princeton Union, Thursday, October 28, 1909, Volume XXXIII, Number 44, Page 5)
A. W. Woodcock arrived home from Medicine Hat on Saturday and will remain a week. Mr. Woodcock is interested in a brickyard and a coal mine at Medicine Hat. The coal is a superior quality of lignite and the mine is paying well, says Mr. Woodcock. (The Princeton Union, Thursday, January 20, 1910, Volume XXXIV, Number 4, Page 5)
Mrs. A. W. Woodcock and daughter Aimee, left on Monday for Medicine Hat, where Mr. Woodcock is operating a brick yard. Many people were at the depot to bid them good bye. (The Princeton Union, Thursday, June 9, 1910, Volume XXXIV, Number 24, Page 5)
A. W. Woodcock Honored. The Review, published at Redcliff, Alberta, prints a half-page write-up of a banquet given by the employees of the Redcliff Brick & Coal company in honor of A. W. Woodcock, who recently resigned as manager of the concern. One hundred people were present at the banquet and the menu was of the best. After the last course had been served the presentation of a program, including toasts, songs and instrumental numbers, commenced, and in this program Miss Aimee Woodcock and Ernest Sellhorn were among those who participated. To show the respect in which they held Mr. Woodcock the employees of the company presented him with a handsomely engrossed address, which reads as follows: “The employees of the Redcliff Brick & Coal Company, having learned of the resignation of their honored manager, Mr. Arthur W. Woodcock, adopted this mode of expressing to him the esteem and regard which he is held, and our sincere regret that the harmonious relations which has existed for so many years are about to be severed. Though a great disciplinarian, Mr. Woodcock’s kindness and courtesy extended to us at all times were greatly appreciated, and let us assure him that his memory and his worth will never be forgotten, and that throughout the years to come, that wherever he may be, or whatever vocation in life he may pursue, we wish him unlimited health, happiness and prosperity.” (The Princeton Union, Thursday, May 16, 1912, Volume XXXVI, Number 21, Page 4)
Arthur W. Woodcock arrived here last Friday from Redcliff, Canada, for a few days visit to old-time friends. It is 11 years since Mr. Woodcock went to Canada, where he owns and is operating a brick yard. He likes the country well, but the war greatly affected its commercial and manufacturing enterprises, which are now, however, fast recovering from the blow. Mr. Woodcock does not look a day older than when he left Princeton. (The Princeton Union, Thursday, July 8, 1920, Volume 44, Number 29, Page 5)
A. W. Woodcock, J. M. Stowe and W. H. Oakes attended the Bryan meeting in Minneapolis on Monday. (The Princeton Union, Mille Lacs County, Minnesota, Thursday, October 13, 1921, Volume 45, Number 43, Page 5)
