It's hard to read, but the addressee is one, "Miss Lizzie G. Wood". A quick check of genealogy of that area, suggests that she was part of this family:
Quote:
THOMAS WOOD was born, January 21, 1810, in Juniata county, Pennsylvania, and when three years old he moved with his parents to the Muncy valley, Lycoming county, Pennsylvania. His ancestors have many historical associations; his great grandfather, Capt. John Wood, fought under King William at the battle of the Boyne in 1690, and was rewarded for his gallantry with a grant of an estate in County Cavan, Ireland; his great grandfather, James Wood, emigrated to America in 1731, and settled in Cumberland county, Pennsylvania. Thomas Wood was married in 1834 to Margaret D. Beeber, daughter of Col. Jacob Beeber, and to them were born the following children: Elizabeth G., who married Dr. Michael Stock; Rachel T., who married Dr. Charles M. Hill; William J., who is a farmer; George G., and six others who died in infancy. Thomas Wood was a Whig and Republican. He represented Lycoming county in the State legislature during the sessions of 1854-55. He was county commissioner one term, and was a director in the Muncy Bridge Company. For many years he acted as a justice of the peace and settled a number of estates. He was also a major of an early militia company. Mr. Wood died, February 12, 1884, and was highly respected by all who knew him.
