LEONARD WRIGHT DIES AT FARGO, NORTH DAKOTA

On receiving intelligence last Thursday morning of the serious illness of her son Leonard at Fargo, North Dakota, Mrs. Mary Wright immediately started for that city, but before her arrival, Leonard died. Mournfully she brought his body back to his boyhood home, arriving Saturday night. On Sunday afternoon the funeral services were held at the Baptist church, a great congregation attending. Leonard was born July 3, 1870, and joined the Baptist church March 8, 1889. Rev. George Kline, the pastor, preached the sermon. The interment was in the Bridgeport cemetery. Profound sympathy is felt for the widowed mother and the survivng brothers and sisters in their sudden and sore bereavement. Leonard had been ill with typhoid pneumonia only about five days. Although far away from home, he had the precious presence of Christ his redeemer. The bereaved share in the love of that same ever present and comforting friend.
