Local Passengers on the Titanic

Oxford Times

Among those it is feared have lost their lives on the ill-fated vessel, is Mr. Wesley Woodward, of Oxford. Mr. Woodward was the youngest son of Mr. Woodward, of Headington, and a brother of Mr. T. W. Woodward, the well-known tenor singer of Magdalen College choir, living in Oakthorpe Road, Oxford. Mr. Wesley Woodward left Oxford about a fortnight ago to join the Titanic as a member of the ship's orchestra. He had previously made several journey across the Mediterranean, so that he was quite a seasoned sailor. He was well-known as a cello player, having appeared in several solos and string quartet's, notably with the Misses Price and Mr. H. M. Dowson. A few years ago Mr. Woodward became attached to the White Star Company's liners, and has been with them ever since. He was recognised as one of their most able musicians, and is exceedingly popular with everyone with whom he came into contact. He was 32 years of age, unmarried, and devoted to his mother.
