Edward James Wood (October 27, 1866 – April 24, 1956) was a prominent local leader of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) in Alberta, Canada and was the founder of Glenwood, and Hill Spring, Alberta.
Wood was born to Mormon parents in Salt Lake City, Utah Territory.
Wood visited her when he went to general conference, and had two children by her, but he does not include her name in his accounts of his trips.
On this land, Wood founded the Latter-day Saint settlements of Glenwood (1908) and Hill Spring (1910).
Shortly thereafter, he was ordained the patriarch of the Alberta Stake, a position he held until his death at age 89.
