Histórico
William George Wood was born in Hounslow, England in 1895 and immigrated to Canada with his family in 1912. His family tried to book passage on the Titanic; however, they were unable to reserve tickets and left on another ship the following day. The family settled in Moose Jaw and Wood began work at the CPR. In 1918, he joined the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen. Wood retired from the CPR in 1958. He was married to Maye (Atkinson) Wood and they had four children: Joyce, Lynn, Dennis, and Garth. He died April 26, 1985.
