Death of Mrs. Sylvester WRIGHT.

The death of Mrs. Sylvester WRIGHT occurred at the home of Mr. Isom WRIGHT in the southwestern part of this city Tuesday morning after a long illness. Her disease was consumption, and she has been a sufferer from it since some time last summer, having been confined to her bed since September. Last week she was removed from her father's house, where she had been some time past, to the home of her sister, Mrs. Isom WRIGHT, where she died. Her maiden name was Eliza SHELTON, and she was born at Wayland in Henry county. One child was born to Mr. and Mrs. WRIGHT, which died in infancy, and her illness dates from its birth. The funeral services were conducted at the house today by Rev. Mr. Marsh, of the congregational church, and the remains taken to Cedar township and buried in the Wright graveyard, by the side of her baby.
