WRIGHF-On the 9th day Of October, 1875,
near Met Omb, Hancock county, ohio, at $40
T. NJ, Lucy z. Wright, wIfe ot David Wright ,
Jr-, and daughter Of Jonathan and Sarah
Piummer, of Findlay.
The deceased leaves a husband and three
chiIdr, To mourn her loss, besides a large
number of friends, associates and acI cIuaintan-
ces, all OF whom survive to mourn their loss
loss d, eply ielt by all and ct Ofinfinite gain
TO her who has gone from our comm union be
low.
Mrs. Wright was born in Butler county Penn
sylvanis, October 9th, 1857, and died of con-
sumption, at her home, October 9th, lS75, at
the age of thirty-eight years and twenty-one
days. Her marriage took place October oath,
1861, thus fixing her birth, marriage and death
in the same month OF the year, and meeting
preference which she had always expressed -
that her DEATH would occur IN this month.
The deceased was woman of many excel
lencies and rare Christian virtues Prudent
and discrete in the management of her world-
ly affairs, she was a valuable helpmeet to her
husband in securing and maintaining a c. NJ
Portable home, and happy home associations.
But, just when they had reached the meridian
OF this prospective future, Death interpOsed TO
cut short their fond hopes, and overcast their
shy with sorrow. Why God should thus inter-
fere 50 often, n,and dispose, in His own way,with
our human designs, may seem mysterious to
us now, but at length il will appear diyinely
wise. Wi h the same carefulneSS which had
characterized this good wOman's life, Sc ar
ranged every particular respecting her death
and burial, and so closed her earthly Pilgrim
age.
;Atthe early age of fifteen Mrs. Wright united
with the Presbyterian Church of Salem, Co
lumbiana county Ohio, and continued a faith
1ul aud efuI Christian life until she entered
CpOn her reward. The closing scenes Of her
pilgrimage deserve more than passing notice,
as they have left Impressions upon the hearts
ofmany that shall not soon be erased or for
gotten. Her words of advice were so direct
and applicable Ic each case, and yet so kind
ana winning that they can scarcely fail to
leave salutary influence for good. The low
standard of Christian living, and the general
desecration of Gods laws received her faithful
words of reprovaI. She said. 81 would like to
talk to all my neighbors, and tell them to live
IA religious Ire, and to not violate Gods holy
day in pleasures and visiting, which have be-
come too common" She earnestly recon-
mended all to make the Sabbath aday of wor-
ship aud not To fnrsake the house of God as a
necessary means of preparing for better
liIU. He= closing hours brealthFd "a ripe Chris
tian eXperieL ce, and her neaTneSS to glory. She
was nrch of the Time engaged in some relig-
ious exercise, AID invited every one who
would, whether minister or private member,
Ia join her in these. After many words and
quotations from TIE Scripture, expressive of
her spiritual triumphs and victoIy-she uttered
her dying words as elbows: 20, is this death?
How sweet il is To die die in JesnS. Glory
glory gIury!'
The IuneTaI WAS attend: ri by a large con-
course of friends, who "wrPt tn th0Se that
weep" and Tie sympathi,S nf ali blended in
the common sorrow, yet HOt the Sarrow of
those who bave no hope. / need only add that
no one who WITNESSES clos ng life like hers,
who has just gone from Us, can deny the supe-
rior claims OF the religion Of Jesus Christ to
prepare the dying for eternity. Will not this
warning be needed by scme? {.
