Mrs. John Wright died Monday morning after a painful illness. This is a case of unusual sadness. She is leaving a large family of small children, the youngest only two months old. Our sympathies are with the bereaved husband and little ones. The funeral took place Tuesday, Rev. Preston officiating. Twenty-five teams followed her remains to their last resting place in Elm Creek Cemetery. Her disease was supposed to be jaundice. Mrs. Wright was a cousin of Mrs. H.I. Townsend of this place and we believe the only relative this side of the Atlantic.
Comment: Mrs. H.I. Townsend was Helen Tocher, 1stcousin of Annie Hume Donald’s mother side of the family (Hume).
