  Newport Mercury and Weekly News April 24, 1942 John Lloyd Woods, 43, assistant cashier of the Aquidneck National Bank and manager of its Washington Square branch, died of a sudden heart attack Saturday afternoon while raking the lawn of his house on East Main road, Middletown. Word of his death came as a shock to the city generally, where he was widely known. Mrs. Woods had been in Newport in the afternoon. As she drove into her garage, she exchanged hand waving with her husband. After she put the car up, she turned and found her husband slumped on the lawn. Dr. James C. Callahan was called, but found that death had been almost instantanteous. A resident of this city most of his life, Mr. Woods was born in New York City April 4, 1899, a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. David Woods. While attending Rogers High School, he was prominent in various school activities, being a captain of the Rogers Cadet Corps, and captain of the basketball team in his senior year. He served in the navy in the World War. He began his banking experience with the National Exchange Bank and Island Savings Bank on Washington Square in 1919. The bank merged with the Aquidneck National Bank in 1926, and became its Washington Square branch. When the late George H. Proud, who was with both banks over a half a century, retired in 1937, Mr. Woods was promoted to assistant cashier and manager. Mr. Woods was a member of the first budget committee, appointed by Middletown, and was a member of its building committee that constructed the Joel Peckham addidtion to the Berkeley School. Until last year, he was a vestryman of St. Mary's Episcopal Church, Portsmouth. He belonged to St. Paul's Lodge of Masons.
