WILTON MAN DIES SUDDENLY
I.L. Wright Drops Dead Monday Morning-Was Native of Cedar County

Wilton, Iowa, Feb. 4-Isaac Lincoln Wright, a prominent business man of this city, dropped dead this morning at 8 o’clock at his home, heart trouble causing his death. Mr. Wright was up early this morning and took a walk to one of the neighboring farmers to purchase some milk for his breakfast before going to his place of business. After returning from his short trip he warmed himself up near a radiator. It was when completely warmed by the heat that he suddenly fell to the floor dead.

Mr. Wright was born on a farm in Cedar County, Iowa, north of Wilton, fifty-three years ago. For a few years he made his home at Kellogg, Iowa. Fifteen years ago he returned to this city and since then has been engaged in the clothing business. He was prominent in the fraternal circles and was a member of the Masonic and K. of P. lodges.

The deceased has two sons in the service of the United States Army, Charles L., a member of the Iowa engineers and Harold D. Wright of the hospital corps, both being stationed at Camp Cody, Deming, New Mexico. Others surviving besides his wife, Mrs. Emily Wright, are another son, Carl, at home, two brothers, Charles of Atalissa and David of Tipton, and two sisters, Mrs. Theodore Kistenmacher of Davenport and Mrs. Elizabeth Hall of Kansas.
