MRS. A.S. WRIGHT
DIED WEDNESDAY;
ILL SEVERAL YEARS
Mrs. Afton Wright passed away at her home Wednesday afternoon, after an illness of several years. She suffered from a complication of diseases, and had not been well since an operation to which she submitted some time ago.
Mrs. Wright was, however, up and about her home, making a brave struggle to continue her duties as long as she possibly could.
For twenty-six years -- beginning January 1, 1910 -- she had been recorder for the Royal Neighbors lodge, and a very efficient one.
