I.L. WRIGHT

Word was received last week of the death of I. L. Wright, who at one time was a merchant in Earlham for several years, but moved to Wilton Junction, where he had been in business until his death, which occurred suddenly of heart failure, on Monday. His two oldest boys are at Camp Cody, but in all probability were allowed to attend their father's funeral, which occurred on Friday.

Mrs. Wright has many friends in Earlham, who will sympathize with her in her bereavement. Mrs. Wright and Mrs. Beven Johnson are sisters.

The business men of Earlham signed a letter of condolence, which was sent to Mrs. Wright after hearing of the death of her husband.
