-- Obituary --
At the time of William's death, an obituary appeared in the local newspaper [exact date unknown]. The title was "W.A. Woodham Called by Death: Was Pioneer Citizen of This County." Selected text from the obituary reads as follows:

"Opp and the entire county sustained a great loss in the death of W. A. Woodham, better known to his friends throughout the state as 'Uncle Bill'. He died on Monday night, May 28, at the age of 76, following several years of declining health.
Uncle Bill had lived a life of usefulness, having followed several different diversions of livelihood. As a young man he taught school for several years, and since that time he has served as tax collector of Covington County and later as Justice of the Peace in Opp.
He was splendid singer, and especially was he fond of sacred harp singing. Until he became a bedridden invalid some fuor years ago, he continued despite his years to teach singing lessons.
Uncle Bill had been in a critical condition several years following two strokes of paralysis, and his death, although a great sadness to his friends and relatives, did not come unexpected. Always with a sunny disposition and a friendly greeting so characteristic of the whole Woodham family, Uncle Bill's hospitality and loving spirit will always be cherished by those who knew him.
Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at the First Methodist Church of Opp with the following men officiating: his pastor, Rev. Andrew J. Jones of Hichory Grove, Rev. G.H. Shear, Rev. W.E. Fuller, pastor of the First Baptist Chruch of Opp and Rev. H.W. Williamson, pastor of the First Methodist Church of Opp."
