WOODFORD

Woodford is situated between Guinea and Milford, about two
miles from the former and seven miles from the latter, and was
named in honor of General William Woodford, who was born
and brought up near the place. For many years the railroad
station was called Woodslane and the post-office about one hundred
feet away was called Woodford. Here are several stores operated
by Dratt, Washington, Southworth and others and on the ridge
lying above the village are many beautiful old homes. At Woodford
are the headquarters of the George P. Lyon Excelsior Company,
the largest industrial concern in the county.
