Dear Meg,
I just pulled up Google, typed in - Clarence Woods, Ragtime - and found the
following which allows you to hear and download 
Woods' "Slippery Elm Rag" and Sleepy Hollow Rag".

More ... Slippery
Elm Rag - 1912 - Clarence Woods Play or save More Information ...

Further down the page was another, similar, link.
Also on this Google page was Sam's site with the following info:
"Clarence Woods from Carthage was a brilliant white pianist who put greater
emphasis on performing rather than composing. Fortunately for us, he has left a
few published compositions. Slippery Elm, unusually for rags, is marked to be
played very quietly. It is a three-strain rag with an unusual Trio section and a
reprise of the second strain to end. This rag is also included in the Classic
Piano Rags from Dover Publications Inc, ISBN 0-486-20469-3, used above. Again
this was played on a Yamaha Clavinova."

Lots of browsing there about someone who, several days ago, we knew little or
nothing about.
But should have.
What an amazing list.
Kind regards,
Bill.
