| Notes |
- Excerpt from "Illustrated History of the West/Woodland Family" by John Kemp, 2005:
Joseph was a member of the Salvation Army and was their Flag Sergeant and would sit on a stool at the corner of Gottingen and Carad St. whole the band played each week. He was always regarded as a snappy dresser, which is reflected in the photo above[profile photo]. He would on Saturday mornings walk up to O'Malleys Bakery and wait for the warm fresh bread to be taken out of the oven to get the first loaves. He used a cane and always packed his groceries in a double handed, black leather shopping bag.
Joseph would sometimes slip a penny to granddaughter Mary West when she would visit.
- Joseph was a talented carpenter. However, he used a lot of nails and it was said anything be built would have to be burned down because it would never come apart.
(paraphrased by Natalie from conversation with Robin Kemp)
