Mrs. Haygood was born May 5, 1935, in San Augustine County to the late William Henry and Tassie Alice (Walton) Womack, and went to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, June 3, 2019, in a Lufkin hospital.
Alice was a kind, loving person to everyone she met. She was selfless and would lend a helping hand to any neighbor in need. No matter where she lived or what the circumstances, Mom always managed to make the old house into a loving home. She was a mother to every child in every neighborhood she lived in and no child ever went hungry or without. Her homemade biscuits, fried chicken and pies were loved by everyone who had the pleasure of eating them. She was a self-made seamstress and made many of her own and her children's clothing, quilts, curtains and other homemade crafts. No rags went unused because she skillfully turned them into rag rugs which adorned her home and those she gifted or sold them to. Above all else Mom was love.
Survivors include sons and daughters-in-law, O.T. Jr. and Crystal Haygood of Huntington, J.T. and Connie Haygood of Huntington; daughters and sons-in-law, Joy and Al Soape of Huntington, Sally Floyd of Lufkin, Patsy Haygood and Dale Donnell of San Augustine, and Wanda and Joe Allen of Huntington, 15 grandchildren; 31 great-grandchildren; 18 great-great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents; husband of 48 years, O.T. Haygood, Sr.; two great-grandsons; six brothers; and three sisters.
Pallbearers will be grandsons: Colby Denby, Travis Haygood, Robert Russell, Taylor Russell, Aaron Haygood, Zachary Allen, Daniel Allen, Clint Haygood, Cory Haygood, Michael Lovett, Corey Colbert, and Bradford Colbert.
Honorary pallbearers are granddaughters, Melissa Davis and Tamara Denby.
The family will welcome friends from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. Friday, June 7, 2019, at the funeral home.
The family wishes to extend a special thanks to the Hospice in the Pines Nursing Staff for their extraordinary generosity of spirit, care and kindness during our time of sorrow.

The son of Azariah and Margaret Wood. (White and Toole, p 72). Middle name shown sometimes as Azariah/Azrall/Ayers. Barbara Yancey Dore shows Margaret's maiden name was STEDDHAME. She writes that he was "reported to be the first person buried in what would become the WOOD CEMETERY about 1860 or 1861. The Wood family deeded land for a cemetery at a later date. The Wood Cemetery Association, with a permanent care fund, meets at the cemetery each year on the first Saturday in August for their annual meeting and cemetery working."
The following biography, prepared by Robert Strickland, a descendant, is copied from FindAGrave:
Charles Ayers Wood came to Texas from New Jersey in 1831 when Texas was still a part of Mexico. Texas became a republic in 1836 and a state in 1845.
Sources disagree on his middle name. It could have been Ayers (also spelled Ayres or Ayars), his mother's maiden name, or Azrael (or Azraih / Azrail / Azel / Azrall, etc.), after his father. He had two grandsons who were both named Charles Ayers Wood. They were double cousins, sons of Wood brothers who married Meigs sisters. Ayers seems to be the most likely middle name.
According to a Bible originally owned by Samuel Stedham / Steddum / Statham, Charles Ayers Wood was the son of Azraih Wood and Margaret Ann Ayers. Charles was born 22 Mar 1806 in NJ and died 19 Mar 1858 in San Augustine Co., TX. His father, Azraih died 10 Dec 1811 near Philadelphia. "He drowned."
Azel Wood and Margaret Ayars were married Nov. 13, 1802, Cumberland County, NJ Marriages, Volume A 1795-1838, page 46 (www.familysearch.org). Margaret Ayars was born 17 Sep 1774 to John Ayars (1736-1802) and Susannah Jarman (1741-1824). Margaret died in 1815 or on 10 Feb 1813.
In John Ayars and his Descendants compiled by Frank D. Anders, Vineland, NJ, 1913, page 13, (Google Books) we find Margaret Ayars married Azel Wood. Margaret's sister, Mary Ayers (1764-1825) married Samuel Statham (the owner of the family Bible, above). Margaret and Mary were daughters of John Ayars (1736-1802) and Susannah Jarman (1741-1824) married 1757.
Charles was orphaned at the age of 7-9. Perhaps he could have have been raised by the Steddum family, but this is speculation. Samuel Steddum and Mary Ayers had a son Samuel II b. 1789 that was living in San Augustine Co. by 1836. Charles' children are listed in the Steddum family Bible. Samuel Stiddum received a land grant of 1 league and 1 labor in 1828.
By some accounts, Charles was a river boat captain before he came to Texas.
Recorded May 12, 1831, in an application for citizenship in the Republic of Texas [should instead be Mexico?]: "Mr. Chas. A. Wood presents himself a native of The United States with a passport from the Consul of the United States of Mexico, Citizen Francisco Martinez Pizarro, made 4th day of May 1830, Not numbered. Place of residence Nacodoches." Does anyone have a copy of this? Reported by Ann Gary, ancestry.com San Augustine County Message Board. Original document is probably in a library in San Augustine.
There is also an article about Charles in Sabine County Historical Sketches and Genealogical Records, by Edna McDaniel White and Blanche Findley Toole, LaBelle Printing Co. Beaumont, TX, Copyright, 1972. It says about Charles A. Wood and Elizabeth Muse, "They had married on their way to Texas, and he received a first class land grant in San Augustine Co. on the Attoyac River, but he never lived on it. He was a Blacksmith and worked on river boats. He also invented a special belt for his cotton gin." We know from other records, however, that he didn't marry Elizabeth Muse until after he came to Texas, and she was first married to Benjamin Franklin Howard.
Charles Ayers Wood received a first class grant of 1/3 league (1476 acres) of land west of San Augustine on the Attoyac Bayou. This was the amount granted to single men. (Had he had a family, he would have been entitled to a league and a labor of land.) The year of emigration was 1831. You can find a record of this on the TX GLO website, http://www.glo.texas.gov/cf/land-grant-search/index.cfm . Charles traded his grant for land near the location of the Wood Cemetery south of San Augustine. One source said this was part of the Shipp Survey, and another said he purchased it from William Lakey. (The Shipp and Lakey grants are adjacent.)
Charles Ayers Wood married Elizabeth Muse about 1837. Elizabeth Muse had first married Benjamin Franklin Howard (or Harwood) who was born about 1807. They were married 31 Jan 1830 or 1831 in Madison Co, TN. One date appears in a loose document and the other appears in the bound record. They had one child, George Washington Howard, born about 1834 in TN, died during the Civil War in 1863 or 1864 on or near Galveston Island.
Benjamin F. Howard and Elizabeth Muse separated. One family history account says that B.F. Howard left his family and was reported dead. However, records show that he was still living, in 1865 and possibly 1874 or later. For more information on the Howard family, see micspoon.tripod.com/nti/nti11685.html.
Elizabeth Muse then married Charles Ayers Wood. The 1850 and 1860 US Census recorded the family in San Augustine Co., TX. Charles was a farmer. They had at least 8 children, all born in Texas, probably all in San Augustine Co.
Charles A. Wood was said to be the first person buried on the land that would become the Wood Cemetery. The Wood family deeded the land later.
Many thanks to Skyquest, Find A Grave Contributor 46907373, for a draft of this memorial and for helpful tips. Thanks also to Nancy Jack, Contributor 47107985 for the information about the Howard family.
There is little agreement about Charles A. Wood's date of death. The headstone reads, "August 15, 1850." The headstone appears to be modern. This date is not possible if he is the father of daughter Sarah Mariah, born 10 months later. Other accounts list the date of death as 15 Aug 1860 or 1861. These are not likely because he doesn't appear with his family in the Sabine County census recorded 20 Jul 1860. The origin of the 1860 or 1861 date could have been when the cemetery was deeded by the Wood family. The 1858 date (Steddum Bible?) seems to be the only choice consistent with the census records.

Francis M. Wood was born about 1837 in San Augustine County, Texas to Elizabeth Muse and Charles Ayers Wood. He died 26 June 1863 in the Civil War, probably in northeast Louisiana near Vicksburg, MS, burial unknown. Military Service: Pvt., Company E 19th Regiment Tex Inf, CSA, "Walker's Greyhounds." The 1850 San Augustine Co. census shows Frances, female, but Howard family history micspoon.tripod.com/nti/nti11685.html mentions a son, Frank, who died in the Civil War.
The 1860 San Augustine Co. census shows Francis Wood (male), age 23, and Eugenia Wood, age 15, in the household of neighbors Thuresa (Thursa) and Richard J. Fonville. Eugenia Fonville and F.M. Wood were legally married 12 July 1860 in San Augustine Co.
There are two Wood children buried next to each other in the Fonville Family Cemetery (Wood Annex). Thursa Elizabeth Wood (1861-1861), Find A Grave 57012631, is probably their daughter and named for her grandmothers. Frances Marion Wood b 1863 d abount 1873, Find A Grave 57012660, was probably named after her father (but could be named for Eugenia's brother): The inscription on her marker reads "Dau. of F.M. Wood & Eugenia Fonville."
Mrs. Eugenia Woods married (2) Argyle Guy Loggins on Dec. 8, 1866 in San Augustine Co. Their Find A Grave Memorials are 19261653 and 19261654.
Frank fought in the same company as his younger brother, A.A. Wood. After marching over 1000 miles back and forth from Arkansas to Mississippi, their division earned the nickname "Walker's Greyhounds." Their first action was on June 7, 1863 at the battle of Millikin's Bend near Vicksburg, MS. There they attacked a supply depot. After initial success against Union infantry, they were repelled by gunboats. They retreated to northeast Louisiana where many died due to disease and malnutrition. This is where Frank is presumed to have died. His service record gives his date of death as June 26, 1863, one week before the fall of Vicksburg.

From FindAGrave:
Thomas E. Wood, Sr. was the son of Charles A. Wood and Elizabeth Muse. His middle name was probably "Edwin" since he is listed by that name in the 1850 census and "Edwine" in the 1860 census. His son, Thomas E. Wood, Jr. went by "Edd."
He married Nancy Meigs Sep 28, 1865 in Jasper Co, TX. They were the parents of four children.
Thomas E. Wood, Sr. died in 1877 at the age of 33 years, leaving his wife, age 29, with four young children to care for. Nancy married second William Wesley "Wes" Dalley on Sep 20, 1879 in Sabine Co, TX. Nancy Dalley is buried in Brookeland Cemetery, Brookeland, Sabine Co, TX.
It is not known where Thomas E. Wood, Sr. is buried. He could be here in the Wood Cemetery near other family members in one of the many unmarked graves, or he could be buried elsewhere in San Augustine or Sabine County. This beautiful spot on the shore of present-day Lake Sam Raburn is a fitting place to honor his short life.

Sarah's grandfather was John Woodlief Jr, the father of John, Edward, and George Woodlief. It is a known fact that the Woodlief and Poythress families intermarried. In September 1717, Sarah's father, Mr. Edward Woodlief, became sick and realizing his time was at hand, made his will disposing of his wordly estate. He died in the early part of the next year. His will was filed February 10, 1718. He bequethed to Sarah one heifer, calling her "daughter Pace" in the will. At a Court Held at Merchants Hope for Prince George County 8th December 1719 p. 302 Sarah Pace, wife of Richard Pace, relinquished her dower in land sold by her husband to Thomas Goodwyn.
When Sarah's husband Richard died, he left her an unusual bequest, his set of pistols. This is not the sort of legacy a man normally leaves to a female regardless of her relatioship to him, which makes the author believe they were considered among his prized possessions. It is unknown, because of the loss of records, how long Sarah lived or what became of their estate.
The author added that it was with great difficulty, through many years of search, to discover the names of only a few of their children. Once again, it could only be accomplished through a process of elimination by a close study of the existing records of the area. Richard was the only male member of his family, meaning the son's of James and Elizabeth, that remained in Prince George County. The others had all gone to North Carolina. The children of Richard and Sarah were Richard, Francis, and John. It is also believed that Sarah, wife of John Bonner, and Elizabeth, wife of Richard Biggins, are also children, but this has not been proven to any degree of satisfaction. (p. 130)
The son of John Woods and brother of Seborn. They moved to Texas in 1840, and settled in Newton County. Allen helped to organize the Sardis Baptist Church in Burkville and became a deacon and clerk for the rest of his life. His name is on the Muster Roll in 1862, of Company H, 13th (Burnett's) Tex. Cav. At the time he was 58 years old. (White and Toole, p 32). They show his date of birth as 15 Feb 1804 in Mississippi, and date of death as 31 July 1887. Their date of birth does not fit with census records. Barbara S. Wright, on her website, posted: "He came to Texas in 1840 with his brother Seborn Woods. He had 12 children by first marriage. His name is on the muster roll in 1862 of Company B,13Yh (Burnett's) Texas Calvery Woods, were privates. There are more Woodses in Newton County ,than any other name. The McMahons had the largest connection, but they came from eight different children,while the Woods came from only two heads. The Woods family is not only one of the largest families in the county ,but they are also one of the most useful and respected. The Woodses are mostly Baptist. He is buried in the Woods Cemetery , near Burkeville, Newton Co. Tx. "
FindAGrave lists his full name as William Allen Woods, but it appears only Allen is engraved on his tombstone, which also shows he was "aged 73 Ys 6 Ms & 16 Ds."
