The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa
Thursday, January 23, 1908

LUCIEN GEORGE WRIGHT, son of GEO. and NETTIE WRIGHT, was born in Warren
Township, Lucas County, Iowa, January 2, 1880, and died January 18, 1908 at
the age of twenty-eight years and sixteen days. He received his early
education at the May School. At the age of twenty he entered Drake
University where he attended college, one year after which he took the civil
engineering course at Ames for four years where he would have graduated with
the class of 1906 if failing health had not compelled his leaving school.

Eight years ago he united with the Christian Church, University Place, in
Des Moines, and has since then lived a faithful Christian life. The greater
part of the past two years he had spent in Colorado in hopes of benefiting
his health. His father and mother were with him at the time of his death in
Rocky Ford, and accompanied his remains to Iowa for interment.

Funeral services conducted by Rev. Moore of Chariton, were held Tuesday at
the May Baptist Church. Interment was made in the Derby Cemetery. Besides
his father and mother he leaves a brother, EUGENE WRIGHT, and a sister, MRS.
NELLIE MILLER, also many friends who will sincerely mourn his loss. The
sympathy of the entire community goes out to the mourning relatives in the
hour of their affliction.

There is no death! What seems so

is transition;

This life of mortal breath is but a

suburb of the life elysian;

Whose portal we call death.
