George Wright, 14 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Marion Wright, died very suddenly Thursday evening from hemorrhage of the brain. He had been in school as usual that day and said nothing about not feeling well until evening while out doing his chores. He went to the house and soon became very ill. A doctor was called out but before he arrived George became unconscious, never to rally again. The trouble was believed to have been caused by a severe shock the boy received three years ago when their barn burned.

Funeral services were held at the Fairview Church Sunday afternoon. Friends wish to extend their sympathy to the family for losing one so young from their midst.
