Homer: Judge Homer B. Woods was born on a farm near Harrisville July 16, 1869, the fourth son of a circuit-riding pastor, Rev. Philip A. and Salina (Wells) Woods. At the age of 16, he began teaching, a pursuit which he continued for several years. Woods attended Marietta College and took a course in the law department of the University of West Virginia. He was selected as superintendent of Ritchie County public schools while still pursuing his law degree. After two terms as superintendent, he returned to teaching for several years. Woods was principal of Harrisville High School, and later principal at Pennsboro High School. In 1892, he was admitted to the West Virginia Bar Association. He had a private law practice in Harrisville until 1896, when he was elected prosecuting attorney. He retired from that position in 1904 after two terms, after which he was elected as judge for the Third Circuit Court, covering Ritchie, Doddridge and Pleasants counties. Judge Woods continued his legal career when he was nominated by the Republican party in August 1920 as an unopposed candidate for a third term as Circuit Court judge. Judge Woods went on to be named as a West Virginia Supreme Court judge in 1924, serving in that capacity until 1936. He died in March 1941.

An extensive display pertaining to the life and career of Judge Homer B. Woods, donated by his granddaughter Winifred Woods Gulyas, was dedicated at the General Thomas M. Harris School Museum in Harrisville in May 2012.²⁶⁶

"Thomas Jeffrey Davis gained his early education in the public schools of Harrisville, West Virginia, completing his public school education in Washington, D.C., and was thereafter graduated in Woods Commercial College in that city. He also attended Broaddus College, Clarksburg, West Virginia, and in 1900 he was graduated in the law department of the University of West Virginia. He received at this time the degree of Bachelor of Laws, and later he received the degree of Master of Laws from Columbia University, Washington, D.C. In 1901 he was admitted to the bar, and he has since been successfully engaged in the active practice of profession at Harrisville, save for the interval of his service as private secretary of the president of the Senate of the West Virginia Legislature. He was elected prosecuting attorney of Ritchie County in 1912, and that his administration has been specially efficient is indicated by the fact that in 1920 he was re-elected for a third consecutive term."

^[401] Obituary of husband, No marriage record for Ezra McKinney Jr. and Mamie Cora Leggett was found in Doddridge County. However, Doddridge County Marriage Record 12-383 shows that on Mar 18 1931 a marriage license was applied for by Hugh Franklin McKinney (age 30, b. Doddridge Co, resident of Oxford) and Mamie Leggett (age 21, born & residing in Doddridge Co). Her stated age would be off by four years. But the portion of the license labeled "Minister's Return or Endorsement" was left blank, and the word "Void" was handwritten in red ink across the top of the license. This would indicate that the marriage did not occur. MR 12-295 shows that Mayme [sic] Leggett married Creed Lipscomb the following year. The marriage record of Patricia Lipscomb in 1956 identifies her parents as Creed Lipscomb (deceased) and Mamie Lipscomb McKinney, implying that Mamie remarried a McKinney subsequent to her marriage to Creed Lipscomb. Also, when Mamie remarried Jerry Junior Allman in 1957, after the birth of their two children in 1953 and 1956, she was identified as Mamie Cora McKinney, daughter of Elmore & Susie Leggett. The birth record of James Douglas McKinney in 1950 identifies his parents as Ezra J. McKinney & Maymie Cora Leggett, his marriage record in 1980 identifies his parents as Ezra McKinney Jr. & Mamie Leggett Allman, and his obituary identifies his parents as Ezra McKinney Jr. & Mamie Cora Leggett Lipscomb McKinney Allman. The marriage record of Roberta June McKinney in 1970 identifies her parents as Ezra McKinney Jr. & Cora Mamie Leggett Allman. Ezra's obituary stated "He married the former Mayme Leggett, who survives at Walker." His survivors included daughter June and son James, and "two stepdaughters, Patricia Leggett, West Union, and Grace Heldrith, Cleveland, Ohio." Mamie's obituary made no mention of a marriage other than to Jerry Allman, but it stated that she was "survived by five children: Patty Leggett, June Jones, Jim McKinney, Earnestean Griswold, all of West Union, and Richard Allman of Bellville.".
