of Arlington, Past and Present" by Charles Symme Parker (1907) notes that
William T. Wood came there about 1841 and started working with Abner Wyman
making and repairing ice tools. He purchased the business in 1845 and ran
it by himself until partnering with his brother Cyrus in 1858. He died in
1871. His son, William E. Wood, took over, retaining the name of William
T. Wood & Co. In 1905 the company was consolidated with Gifford Brothers
of Hudson, NY, as Gifford-Wood Co."
