Provenance

Notes

Annabella Cresson Wistar was married to Horatio Curtis Wood. She was born 26 Aug 1872, was married at Germantown Monthly Meeting on 17 Feb 1897, and died Nov 1967. "The Wood family tree...has included altogether fourteen respected men of medicine since the eighteenth century. The handing on of the name Horatio Curtis Wood has reached a sort of impasse in various branches; there now being a Dr. Horatio C. Wood Jr. (Pennsylvania '97), a Dr. Horatio C. Wood IV (Haverford '50) and a Mr. Curtis Wood (Yale '54)." (Source: The Perennial Philadelphians: The Anatomy of an American Aristocracy, page 109, By Nathaniel Burt)
