CAPTAIN HENRY L. WOOD 1832 - 1890 Henry Lewis Wood was born at "Ryefields" in the County of Yorkshire, England, February 23rd, 1832.  In 1852, he married Mary Buckley of 'Uppermill and later in the same year came to America, first living in Brookdale, Mass., later in Amesbury, in both places interested in the woolen business.  In 1858 the family came to Dexter and for a few years he served as overseer of the finishing department for the Dexter Mills, which then comprised the Stone Mill (now the Dumbarton), the White Mill, and the Brick Mill (now the George Park Mfg. Co.).  At the outburst of the Civil War, he threw himself into the fight with enthusiastic vigor and formed a company of soldiers from Dexter and surrounding towns. This company was incorporated with others, forming the 22nd Maine Regiment and he was appointed Captain of Company E.  This Regiment was in the Department of the Gulf and participated in many important engagements.  Capt. Wood was one of several officers and enlisted men who answered a call for volunteers in a final attempt to take Port Hudson-the attack was successful and the regiment was quartered for a time inside the works.  There was at one time a movement on foot for Congressional Medals to be awarded to these volunteers, for their bravery in this attack and it was a matter of great regret the measure failed to go through.  At the close of this enlistment, he again enlisted, in 1864, and became Captain of Co. H. of the 12th Maine, serving until March 1866.  After the close of the war, he remained for a time in the South, engaged in reconstruction duty in Georgia.  His army record is well worthy of admiration, for he fought and endured with patriotic zeal.  Soon after his return to Dexter he was commissioned Postmaster and served in that capacity for twenty years.  He was highly popular as a public official through his long term of service.  He was instrumental in forming the H. F. Safford Post, G. A. R. and was first commander.  In religion he was an Episcopalian.  In politics he was a staunch Republican always foremost in work for his party.  His death took place Feb. 8th, 1890 after a few days' illness with pneumonia.  He was the father of seven children, four of whom were living at the time his death.
