Has anyone ever heard this story about William R Woodward...



Does any other Woodward's know about this story? I received this today from Uncle, asking if I knew anymore about this story than this......I had heard about it and had a little info of it, but just not quite this good of details...

RE: William Woodward married to Mary E Jones,
SEE BELOW

"What I remember of the story is:
William went out into the yard and "someone" stepped out from behind a trellis (as I recall) and shot!/stabbed? killed him (I do not remember which way now).
Many/several years later, the story went, someone asked a question about wondering who had killed William. One of the cousins?/brothers?/uncles? answered to the effect that that problem "had been taken care of."
No indication whether the implied action was, in fact, taken care of, when, or by whom, or who the killer was. My question has always been: Why? If this happened, whoever made the comment couldn't say more without essentially admitting involvment in a serious crime."

Thanks for any help or rumors you have heard about this.
