     She was born on 24 July 1893 at Iowa, USA.2,1,3 Inez married Emmett Julian Renwick after January 1920. The 1930 census shows that he was 46 when they married. She was either 18 or 28, the first digit is questionable. Based upon her age, she was probably 28, meaning this was a first marriage for both of them. However, he was previously married so this data point is questionable.4,1,3

     The following obituary appeared in the newspaper The True Republican published in Sycamore, Illinois 5 November 1887:
Cortland
     By O.F. Them
     ...Fred Woodly,who had been sick for a month or more with typhoid fever, died Thursday, at 8 a. m., in Chicago, in the employ of Coxe Bros. Coal Co. A council of physicians, held Saturday, gave no encouragement. Fred was a wide awake young business man and had a host of friends. His mother had been at his bedside since October 15. The remains arrived here Thursday night. The funeral will be held on Saturday at 2 p. m.4


     The following obituary appeared in the newspaper The True Republican published in Sycamore, Illinois 12 November 1887:
Cortland
     By O.F. Them
     ...Mr. Will Wood, who came to Cortland with the remains of his friend, Fred Woodly, returns tomorrow. Mr. Wood is employed in the Stock Yards, Chicago, and is a fine young business man. He leaves with the heartfelt thanks of the entire community for his many acts of kindness to Fred during his last sickness. He was at the bedside a great deal of the time, and his kindness will be ever remembered with gratefulness by the grief-stricken family.
     In the death of Fred Woodly, Cortland , loses one of her brightest young business men; one who had been promoted four times during the six months he was employed by the Coxe Bros. Coal Co. When we consider his age, having just attained his majority, he has not been excelled by any young men in our county. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. L. Crammer at the church, which could not begin to hold the large assembly. The Coxe Bros. firm was represented at the funeral and presented a beautiful floral anchor resting on a rock of vernal green; his friends from the city presented a beautiful floral panel, which, together with those presented by friends here, were the handsomest floral tributes ever witnessed here. His remains were laid by the side of his father, who died less than two years ago. He leaves a mother, one brother and a host of friends to mourn his loss.

Fred Woodley [changed to Floyd in follow up report,] of Cortland, had so recovered from the attack of congestion of the lungs, that he was out on Saturday, but in taking a dose of medicine that evening, he by mistake took a teaspoonful of an acid from a bottle sitting near by, and but for the measures at once adopted his life would have paid the forfeit. The whites of seventeen eggs were at once administered and when the doctor arrived other antidotes were given which saved his life, but it was a close call.5
