In 1891 he moved to hartney, Manitoba and for some years was associated as bookkeeper wit his eldest son, Dr. F.B. Woodhull, who had bought a drug store there taht same year. In 1895 the Rural Municipality of Cameron was incorporated and Mr. Woohull was appointed Secretary-Treasurer at a salary of $200.00 a year and he provided his own office over the drug store! He had never aspired to public office but he found this association with local governmect very satisfying. In 1905 the town of Hartney was incorperated and he was appointed its Secretary-treasurer also, contiuing in these offices untill his death in 1930. He was a quiet man rather reserved except with his wife and family to whom he was devoted. He and his wife were Methodists and fond of music and literature. They took pains to provide each of their children with a good education. Mr. Woodhull took a great interest in the Hartney Star, founded in 1895 by his son, Dr. Woodhull.
