Wright, Eliza C. Bennett    Obituary
Eliza C.  Bennett was born in Erie county, New York, December 19, 1821, and spent her childhood there.   During that time she secured a liberal education in an educational institution in Buffalo and entered the teachers' profession in which she met with much success, beginning in the rural districts and later becoming a high school teacher.
On January 4, 1850, she was united in marriage  to  Josiah   Willard Bates Wright.   Three years later they moved to Ottawa, Ill., which was their home until 1880, when they removed to Shenandoah, where Mr. Wright died July 31, 1894,  since which time she made her home with her daughter, Mrs. Clark, in whose home she received the tender and affectionate care of a dutiful daughter and family in her declining years and where she fell asleep in Christ March 14, 1909, aged 87 years, 3 months and 25 days.
Two children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Wright, Carrie, wife of O. E. Clark, and Millard F., who died November 18, 1895. In early life the deceased was converted to Christianity and united with the M. E. church and remained a member of the church until her marriage, when she transferred her membership to the Congregational church of which her husband was a member and in which she remained a consistent Christian untii the time of her death. She was an exceptionally strong woman intellectually—a diligent, earnest and intelligent student of the Bible. A great reader, having her mind stored with the best thoughts of religious, historical and literary writers and in every way an excellent woman who was permitted to enjoy life beyond the usual measure and to make the world better for her long stay in it. The following little poem seems so fitting the long life of Mrs. Wright:
OLD AGE.
In the world I linger long, Bearing toil and seeing wrong.
O Jesus I am weary. Feeling pain and suffering sorrow
Let me see that blessed tomorrow Beyond this world so weary.
Ebbing strength and failing sight Tiresome make both day and night;
Fellow servants dead and gone Changed are customs, forms and ways
All an unfamiliar maze! In the crowd I feel alone.
In that house not made with hands
Which in glory ever stands, All shall have eternal youth,
Sin shall there forever cease, Souls be filled with joy and peace,
Life be righteousness and truth.
The funeral was held from the G. E. Clark home near Page Center March 15, Rev. H. G. Foster, of Beaver Falls, Pa., conducting the services at' the house, after which the remains were taken over the K. & W. road to Shenandoah, and laid to rest beside those of her husband and only son, Rev. Turner, of the Congregational church, conducting the services at the undertaking parlors of A. D. Chapman. The pall bearers were W. K. Glasgow, J. C. Glasgow, D. C. Mcintosh, T. J. Edgar, L. E. Ross and Willard Clark.
Among the relatives who followed the remains to their last resting place was an only daughter, Mrs. G. E. Clark and husband, of Page Center, three grandsons, Willard Clark, wife and two daughters, of Creston, la., Rallie Clark and wife, of. Shenandoah, and Ralph Wright, of Broken Bow, Nebr. also two granddaughters, Mrs. Ethel Reeder,  of Broken Bow, and Mrs. L. E. Ross, Clarinda,  and John

Wright, Roy

Two Hunting Accidents.
Two very sad hunting accidents have occurred lately in neighboring communities—one at Villisca and one in the edge of Missouri. The first of these accidents occurred at Villisca, Saturday, February 13, when Roy Wright met death accidentally at the hands of his friend, Clyde Arbuckle. They were out hunting with a 22-calibre rifle on the Middle Nodaway just east of Villisca and had started a fire and were playing "camping out." The Review tells the story of the deplorable accident:               
Clyde remarked that he thought he would go in search of rabbits. Taking the gun he crawled through a fence which stands close to the river and had started toward the brush when his companion called after him to come back and get some more loads for his gun. Roy was down behind the bank of the river close to the water's edge. He started up the bank to give his friend the loads just as Clyde undertook to climb back through the fence. Roy's head was scarcely above the bank when the hammer of the gun caught on a wire and   the load was discharged, the bail going, fate-guided, straight for the lad clambering up the bank. It entered the brain just above the right eye.  Clyde rushed to his companion's side and asked him where his handkerchief was.   Roy replied that it was in his hip pocket and Clyde got it out and tied up the injured lad's head.  In another moment the wounded boy swooned away.   Clyde tried to get him up on the bank but could not lift him and leaving him he ran with all the speed his feightened limbs could muster for home, where he summoned assistance. Dr. Williams took the injured boy home in his buggy, but he never regained consciousness.
Henry Boy Wright was born at Greensburg, Mo., Janaary 15, 1896. He was one of four children of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Wright, who moved to this city about a year ago. The father at present is located in Montana, forty miles from a telegraph office, and could not be notified in time to attend the funeral. His mother is employed at the Fatten hotel in Villisca.
The Missouri accident is recorded by the Clearmont News as follows:
A young man 17 years old, by the name of Sanders, who lived about five miles southwest of Maryville, white out rabbit hunting last Sunday, with three other boys, was accidently killed with his own gun. He laid his gun down on the edge of a ravine in which there was some brush, and went down to tramp the brush hoping to scare out rabbits for his companions to shoot but failing in scaring out any rabbits, he picked up a small box that lay in the ravine and tossed it up on the bank and when it came down it struck the hammer of his gun, discharging it, and the charge from the gun struck him in the abdomen. The boy fell, and his companions were so scared they did not go to him but sent one of their number to a nearby house for help, which came quickly, but he was dead when help arrived.

"I cannot feel that thou art far, Since near at hand the angels are; And when the sunset gates unbar, Shall I not see thee waiting stand, And, white against the evening star, The welcome of thy beckoning hand." CLARINDA JOURNAL, Clarinda, Iowa, Jul 18, 1918

The little children who come to the Page county rest room use a little rocking chair which was the gift of Mrs. Wubker one day when she saw that a tiny chair was needed.

Wyatt, Emma McGuire - Mrs. Emma Wyatt, whose husband was laid to rest in the Clarinda cemetery last April, has also passed away on August 15, at the home of her sister, Mrs. R. B. Hite in Clarinda. The funeral is being held this Thursday afternoon from the Hite residence, 221 N. 13th St. conducted by the Methodist pastor, Rev. J. M. Williams.

She was united in marriage to G. W. Wyatt, May 28, 1885, the couple moving to La Salle, Ill., where they lived for nearly thirty years.

Wyatt, of Chicago, Ill., and three brothers, S. D. McGuire of Eugene, Ore., A. C. McGuire of Geary, Okla., and W. W. McGuire of Northfield, Minn.

Mrs. George M. Wyatt.
Mrs. Emma McGuire Wyatt, widow of the late George M. Wyatt, passed away sometime during Sunday night or early Monday morning, at the home of her sister, Mrs R. B. Hite, in this city. Mrs. Wyatt had recently spent a month with her son, Kirke K. Wyatt, in Chicago. She returned from there, Tuesday of last week, and since then had not been feeling usually well, but seemed to be in her accustomed state of health Sunday. She sat on the porch of the Hite home Sunday evening, retiring rather early. At about 10:30, when Mrs. Hite went upstairs, Mrs. Wyatt called to Mrs. Hite, saying she was not asleep, and the sisters talked for a time. In the morning Mrs. Hite glanced in her room and saw that she was resting apparently, so did not disturb her. At 9 o'clock Mrs. Hite again went to her sister's room and found that she was sleeping her last sleep. Death was caused from heart trouble, probably aggravated by the heat. Mr. Wyatt passed away in Los Angeles, Calif., May 17, of this year while sitting by Mrs. Wyatt on a bench in a park, so the death of Mrs. Wyatt in a sudden manner seems doubly sad.
Emma McGuire Wyatt was born Jan. 3, 1861, in Taylor county, Iowa. In 1869 her parents, Mr. and Mrs. David McGuire, removed to Clarinda and lived on the block where the R. B. Hite home is situated. This was the home of Miss McGuire until her marriage to George M. Wyatt, May 28, 1885. After this Mr. and Mrs. Wyatt made their home at LaSalle, Ill., for a number of years. For about three years before Mr. Wyatt's death they lived in Los Angeles, Calif. The only child of Mr. and Mrs. Wyatt, Kirke M. Wyatt, of Chicago, survives. Besides Mrs. Hite of this city there are three brothers who are living. They are, S. D. McGuire of Eugene, Ore.; A. C. McGuire of Geary, Okla.; and W. W. McGuire of Northfield, Minn. Mrs. Wyatt was a member of the Butler Eastern Star chapter of Chicago. Since Mr. Wyatt's death she was making her home with her sister, Mrs. Hite, in Clarinda, At the time of Mr. Wyatt's death last May it was thought strange that his passing away should have come so near the time of the anniversary of their marriage, thirty-six years ago in the parlors of the Hite home. Mrs. Wyatt's death occurred Aug. 15, lacking but two days of three months from the date of her husband's death, May 17. Mrs. Wyatt's funeral will be at 2:30 this afternoon at the Hite home conducted by Rev. J. M. Williams. Interment will be in the Clarinda cemetery. CLARINDA JOURNAL, Clarinda, Iowa, Aug 18, 1921



Wyatt, George M.
A former resident of Clarinda, George M. Wyatt, passed away Tuesday, May 17, 1921, at Los Angeles, Calif. The remains were accompanied to Clarinda by Mrs. Wyatt and by her brother and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. W. W. McGuire of Northfield, Minn., who have been in Los Angeles with Mr. and Mrs. Wyatt for sometime. Mrs. Wyatt and Mr. McQuire are the sister and brother of Mrs. R. B. Hite of this city. A number of the older residents of Clarinda knew Mr. Wyatt and will greatly regret his death. Mr. Wyatt and his bride, Miss Emma McGuire, were married May 28, 1885, in the parlor of the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Hite. A strange coincidence was the fact that the casket containing all that was mortal of Mr. Wyatt rested in a corner of the Hite parlor, Monday, May 23, 1921, the time lacking but five days of being thirty-six years since he and Mrs. Wyatt had stood in the same corner while their marriage service was being read. The funeral service Monday was at 3 o'clock, conducted by Rev. J. M. Williams, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church. The Episcopal burial service was read, Mr. Wyatt being a member of the Episcopal faith. The interment was in Birchwood cemetery. Kirke K. Wyatt of Chicago, the only child of Mr. and Mrs. Wyatt, was present at the funeral, as was Miss Lillian Hite of Kansas City and Mr. and Mrs. Beryl Hite of Davis City. The following obituary of Mr. Wyatt was given at the funeral:
George M. Wyatt was born Aug. 1, 1843, at Norwich, Vt. He came to Clarinda in 1881 and was connected with the construction of the Humeston and Shenandoah railroad. He was married to Miss Emma McGuire, May 28, 1885. For many years they made their home in La Salle, Ill. About three years ago they moved to Los Angeles, Calif., where they have resided since. Mr. Wyatt had been enjoying very good health. His sudden death last Tuesday at 2:30 p.m., due to appoplexy, was a great shock to his family, relatives and friends. Besides his widow he is survived by one son, Kirke K. Wyatt of Chicago. Mr. Wyatt had attained the age of 77 years 9 months and 17 days. CLARINDA JOURNAL, Clarinda, Iowa, May 26, 1921

The body of George W. Wyatt, many years ago a resident of Clarinda, was brought to the old home Sunday for burial.

He was married May 28th, 1885, to Emma McGuire, who still survives, as does the son Kirke K. Wyatt of Chicago, who was present at the funeral, as was Miss Lillian Hite of Kansas City, Mrs. R. B. Hite of Clarinda, Mr. and Mrs. Beryl C. Hite recently moved to Davis City, la., and Mr. and Mrs. W. W.

Wycoff, Clarence's INFANT SON

OBITUARY RECORD.

Child of Mr. and Mrs. C. G. Wycoff.
The following is taken from the Guthrie Times regarding a former Clarinda couple, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence G. Wycoff, who spent several months here. Mr. Wycoff was employed in the Walter Cramer store. Mrs. Wycoff is a sister of Mrs. R. P. Manning. Mrs. Wycoff's father, H. W. Stoy, is the publisher of the Guthrie Times. That paper of last week says: "God gave, and God taketh away." The ways of Providence are not our ways, but all must bow to Him who said, "suffer the little ones to come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven." There came to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence G. Wycoff, this city, a beautiful baby boy, Monday, May 26, 1919, but who did not stay, for God took him again, and a little new made mound in the city cemetery marks his resting place, while the spirit is resting in the arms of the Master in the beautiful beyond. The body was laid away Tuesday, with a short service at the grave by Rev. R. Bruce West, pastor of the Presbyterian church. The bereaved young parents have the deepest sympathy of all in their sorrow. Mrs. Wycoff is the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Stoy. CLARINDA JOURNAL, Clarinda, Iowa, Jun 12, 1919

Gisham was born March 4, 1841, in Randolph county, Mo., and was married to Isaac Wynn, Feb. 14, 1861.  Eight children were born to this union,   all living except two which died in infancy. She leaves a husband, six   children and fifteen grandchildren, one sister and many other relatives and friends to mourn her death.   Mrs. Wynn united with the M. E. church at an early age and she has since lived a christian life in her home.   She was a true wife and a loving mother, always ready to lend a helping hand to anyone in need of help.   All was done that loving hands and kind hearts could do and the Lord claimed her as his own.  The funeral was held at the Davis schoolhouse on Friday at 2 p. m., conducted by Rev. Posten, of College Springs, who spoke of her being ready and willing to go to her heavenly home.  It was her talk through most of her sickness that if she could not get well she wanted to go where there was no pain nor sorrow nor sickness never came. The voice that was so familiar as they sat around the family circle we will never hear again but we find consolation in the hope, that if we take her example as our guide we will meet in the happy home which will be one unbroken family around the throne of Gcd. The bereaved family have the heart felt sympathy of all who know them. Mother Wynn was laid to rest in the Davis cemetery among flowers and many sympathizing friends. 'Tis hard to break the tender cords Where love hath bound the heart; 'Tis hard, so hard, to speak the words,
"We must forever part." Dearest mother, we must lay thee In the fearful graves' embrace, But thy memory will be cherished, Till we see thy heavenly face.
card of thanks—Mr. Isaac Wynn and family desire to thank the friends and neighbors, who were so kind to them during the illness of their dear wife and mother.
