Mary Wood, [n.d.]
Mary Wood (born Mary Isabel Hollingshead, 14 September 1908) was a longtime Woodbridge resident and was known as “Woodbridge’s Unofficial Historian”, an appropriate title for an individual who cultivated a life-long fascination with the history of the area and who dedicated much of her efforts to preserving her community’s past. A life-long Vaughan/Woodbridge resident, she attended Weston Collegiate, graduating in 1923. She married James Alvin Wood in 1931 and worked from this point to March 1944 on the family dairy farm located on Lot 2, Concession 8. At a later date, various circumstances conspired to force the Woods to liquidate their farm’s assets; they then moved to Woodbridge proper.
