Woods, J.G.

From Lane Co Oregon

• John Kelly began publishing a newspaper called the Nonpareil in 1896. Two years later he sold the paper to J.G. Woods, who changed the name of the publication to the Springfield News. Although ownership changed over the ensuing years, the News is still the principal newspaper in the Springfield area (Graham 1978f).

Note: In one source, he is referred to as J.F. Woods.
