From Story County Watchman April 27, 1900

Wednesday afternoon Saml. Wright died at his home in the second ward aged 84 years. His wife had been quite low form some time but still survives him. The family came to this city several years since from Bremer county and have been among our most repectable citizens. He leaves a family of grown up children to mourn his loss.
