July 24, 1913 - Carroll Times - A cable dispatch received from Paris in this city Saturday evening brought the sad news of the death in that city of Dr A.L. Wright of Carroll. The exact circumstances of his death are not known yet. The only facts of which we are yet in possession is that he was in the American hospital in Paris to undergo treatment for an obstruction of the bowels. It is understood that an operation was performed, which was not successful in saving the life of the patient. The remains will be shipped to this country and will be brought to Carroll for interment.
Sunday evening, June 29th, with high hopes for a most pleasurable and profitable trip. He was to travel in company with a number of eminent American physicians, and leading physicians of France, Germany and the other countries which they were to visit were planning to make their sojourn in each of those countries pleasant. The trip was to have its climax at London in August, when the International Medical Congress was to meet, after which the doctor was to return home.
The last letters received from him, before the arrival of the telegram announcing his death, indicated that he was in good health and good spirits. How long he suffered from the trouble which caused his being taken to the hospital and brought about his death, we have not learned.
Mrs. Wright was visiting their son in Canada during the doctor's European trip. He had desired that she should accompany him to Europe, but as she is very seriously subject to sea-sickness, she preferred to spend the time with her son.
The message announcing her husband's death did not reach her until Monday of this week, as the telegraph station in the little town nearest her son's place has no night operator and is also closed on Sunday. Both Mrs. Wright and son started for Carroll as soon as possible upon receipt of the sad intelligence and arrived here Tuesday evening. At time of writing this, the data is not available for an adequate sketch of the life of the deceased. He has been a prominent citizen of Carroll for many years and has won the highest rank in the medical profession. For years before the erection of St. Anthony hospital, he conducted a private hospital in the building in the northwest part of the city which he still owned at the time of his death.
August 7, 1913 - Carroll Times - The funeral of Dr. A.L. Wright, was held Friday afternoon at his home in this city. Mrs. Wright and son arrived on noon of that day from New York, where they had gone to meet the remains, which had been forward from Paris, where death occurred July 19. Mr. and Mrs. F.L. Macomber, of Chicago, and Dr. Owen, the chief surgeon of the C. & N.W. railroad, accompanied them from Chicago, in the private car of the general superintendent of the road.
The funeral address was by Hon. B.I. Salinger, of this city, who paid fitting and eloquent tribute to the great work that Dr. Wright had accomplished and the rich usefulness of his life. Rev. C.E. Bentley, of Chicago, read the twenty third psalm and conducted the service both at the house and the grave. The county medical society attended the funeral in a body and the house and grounds adjoining it were thronged by the neighbors and friends who gathered to pay the last tribute of respect to one who had been valued as friend and counselor in the most serious troubles of life. Many floral offerings were in evidence.
