I agree that it is more than likely the same person. Enough so that I added his information to my file. Now if I could just figure out who his parents were?

Hmm. I don't know what happened. I responded to this yesterday, but my response isn't here.
Anyway, I have no proof that it is the same man, but I am assuming it is. His address at various points (per directories) leading up to his death list him at a) 2500 California or b) NW corner of California & Steiner. Israel Cashow [Kashow] purchased the lot on the NW corner of California & Steiner street in 1884 from a Cath. Frutiger. I haven't gone down the property trail to see if it's merely circumstantial or not.

The Suicide of Wood.
An inquest was held yesterday in the case of Charles C. Wood, the saloon-keeper who died from coal gas asphyxiation in his home at California and Steiner streets. The testimony showed that he was very despondent and had frequently threatened to end his life. "Suicide" was the verdict when rendered by the Coroner's jury.

WOOD - In this city, October 7, 1892, Charles C. Wood, a native of Montreal, Canada, aged 50 years.
I just think it's rather odd if it is the husband of Delilah that they didn't mention his wife dying the month before and possibly being his reason for being despondent. The administrator of his estate was a William Rollins who was trying to sell off the goods from the saloon and leasing the saloon itself for almost a year after Charles' death. Charles was not removed by family from the IOOF cemetery, and was then removed from IOOF and placed into the mass burial location (for the removals from IOOF) at Greenlawn. I confirmed they had him, and that there is no burial plot, which means (per the lady I spoke with) he is in the mass burial location in their cemetery.
