AGED MAN DEAD.
Fred Wright Passed Away Sunday With Pnuemonia.
Lived in House on Corle Farm.

Fred Wright, a man perhaps sixty or seventy years of age, died Sunday in a small house on the Corle farm east of the city, of pneumonia. The place is farmed by Joe Balk and it appears that Mr. Wright and family were engaged in the beet fields during the summer. But little could be learned of him. He leaves a large family and it is reported that one of the children, a little girl, is dangerously ill at present. Mr. Wright was somewhat of an evangelist and frequently preached on the streets. The funeral was announced today.
