He was last seen about 9 or 10 o'clock the day before. He had pulled his buggy out of the shed, and taken his egg case out with the evident intention of getting a few more eggs at the hen house before going to Greensburg, when death came. A son who had returned home from Kirksville found the father. Burial was today. He was 77 years old. His wife has been dead several years. The daughter is Mrs. Ed Meilike of west of Greensburg, and the sons are Will Wright of West Plains, Mo., Hugh Wright of California and Tom, Dave and Ed at Kirksville.
