Looking back:
March 31, 1898 – Lysander Woodworth died suddenly at Petaluma last Saturday. Woodworth was a brother of Abijah Woodworth, of Tomales. At the age of 17 he enlisted in the Mexican War, serving throughout with distinction. In later years he was a stage driver in the troublous times of highwaymen. On several occasions he was held up by bad men. He has been shot when refusing to stop and several men have been killed while riding on his stage by the bullets of the thwarted highwaymen.
