\ friend writes thus of the late Dr.

parted this life sunday morning. Nov.

ISL, at Shelburn, VT, by the Rev.
Charles Cleveland. Three children were

and now survive their father-Mrs. c.
ii. ketcham of Whiting, and DR.. VIM.
ii. Wright of Brandon. The wife and
mother died in 1881. DR.. Wright was
| laid to rest Wednesday, Nov. ., the Rev.
VIM. Farrar Weeks officiating, many re-
latives, friends and neighbors and repre-
sentatives of his own chosen profession
being present. The personality of DR..
Wright was a strong and sterling one.
Ever honorable and upright, he was re-
spected by all As man he was frank,
loyal and just, and withal kind-hearted.
For nearly half century he had been a
"belovcd physician in the very commu-
nitv that now mourns his loss and re-
veres his memory. Most unique and
/ special is the relationship existing be-
tween doctor and his many friends
and patients after so many years of con-
| fidentlal intercourse. Attendance in
sickness, suffering and sorrow in the
same homes for two generations endears
such family physician to the fathers
and children and children's children.
His praise is in their homes, old and new
and they rise up and call him blessed
As citizen VIM. =. Wright possessed
the confidence and respect of his fellow
citizens. For over 4j years he was tow
clerk and treasurer of Whiting. Iii,
neg hbOrs thus attested their trust in him
In his own home DR.. Wright was low
ing husband and father, but into the
satellites of such home ties no one shoulC
intrude. Their memory is best preserved
in the grateful seclusion of the famil
life.
