Description |
Barnsley aldermen and councillors with Eugene Wood (1835-1892), Mayor of Barnsley 1889-1891. He is wearing the traditional mayoral robes of Barnsley, presented to the town in 1873. Wood was born in Baccarat, Meuthe et Moselle, France, because his glassworker father William Baker Wood was working there. When his French mother died in 1848, Eugene came to England, speaking only French at that time. In 1854 his father joined him and bought the Barnsley Glassworks, and later renamed it the Wood Brothers Glassworks. Eugene, his brother and his uncles all worked there. By 1869 Eugene was in control of one of the works, and by 1891 he was a glass manufacturer himself, employing 130 men and boys. He was a member of Sheffield Road Baptist Chapel and was elected a deacon there; he supported the works of the church for most of his life. He was also president of the Barnsley Permanent Building Society, chairman of the directors of McLintock & Co., and president of the Barnsley Sunday School Union.
