Death of Isom WRIGHT.

At his home in the southwestern part of the city, Sunday morning, October 11th, occurred the death of Mr. Isom WRIGHT, from a complication of stomach and liver troubles. He had been sick for about two weeks, though for years he has been frail and delicate.

Mr. WRIGHT was the son of Jacob WRIGHT, formerly of Cedar township. He was born in Illinois, August 1, 1844, and was therefore fifty-two years, two months and eleven days old. When a child of three years his father moved to this county, that being in 1847, and here he has resided ever since. About twelve years ago Mr. WRIGHT removed to this city, and eleven years ago he was married to Miss Sarah SHELTON, who still survives him.

Mr. WRIGHT was a quiet, plain man, but he was a good citizen and faithful to every engagement he undertook, and his neighbors speak of him in the highest praise.

The funeral was held Tuesday at the Baptist church in Wooster, Elder Isaac Sawin, of Moulton, officiating, and the remains were laid to rest by his father's side in the cemetery west of the church (sic - Wright Cemetery).
