Death of Mrs. W.W. Wright.



"After ten weeks of weary suffering, death came to Mrs. W.W. Wright at
her home east of Madison, Tuesday afternoon a few minutes after one
o'clock. The beginning of her illness was an attack of pneumonia. This
was followed by an abscess on the lungs and then a complication of
diseases set up. She suffered intensely a great deal of the time, but
hope never seemed to desert her, and always she turned her yearning eyes
to the days when she would 'be well again.' But this was not to be on
earth, so the all-wise Father gently touched the tired eyelids which
closed in sleep here, and she awoke in that land where there is no
suffering, no sickness, no death. Her funeral was preached by Rev.
Rooker of the Methodist church of which she was a devoted member, at her
home Thursday at 11 o'clock, after which the remains were conveyed to
the cemetery at Holiday for internment."



Mrs. Wright was the only child of Mr. and Mrs. T.J. Gaines and the blow
falls very heavily on them in their declining years, both of them being
quite feeble. She was ever a kind and loving daughter to them, and a
true a devoted wife to the husband who is left sad and alone in the home
she made so bright. She lived in this place a number of years before
her marriage and her death is felt as a personal loss by her
acquaintances here, for 'none knew her but to love her' and no woman
ever lived in this community who was more deservedly popular or held in
higher esteem. To the sorrowing parents and bereaved husband our heart
goes out in tenderest sympathy."
