From Nevada Representative October 18, 1907

Miss Elizabeth Wright, daughter of a former Methodist pastor in Nevada, died yesterday in Des Moines where she has been a successful teacher in the East Side high school. Miss Wright was well most favorably known among the young people here in the middle '90s; and it is not many months since she was a visitor here to Miss Flora Beatty. She was a very talented and estimable woman; and her demise will cause very great regret wherever she was known. She had been in poor health for some time and has not been able to resume her school work during the present school year. Further, she had a tooth pulled, and complications set in from that operation, the whole resulting in gangrene.
