and indefatigable energy that char
acterized his conquest over the air,
Wilbur Wright. noted aviator, died OF
typhoid fever at 3:l5 this morning at
the family home here At his bedside
were his father, Bishop Milton
Wright, his sister. Katherine, and
his brothers, Orville, Lorin and
Reuschlin. DR.. ID. b. Conklin also was
present when the end came.
Returning from short business
trip through the east, May 2, Mr..
Wright complained of feeling i'll.
Looking back to a probable cause of
his indisposition, he recalled having
eaten fish and clam broth in a Boston
hotel On Saturday, May 4. he was
Obliged to take TO his bed Two nurses
were secured and to the professional
services OF DR.. Conklin were added
the services OF DR. Levi Splitter. DR..
Fred. Forcheimer, of Cincinnati, was
called into consultation May %.
The case early evidenced the syn p
toms OF typhoid fever in what the
doctors declared to be the most viru-
lent form. IL was marked by an cx-
cessive toxaemia and the case vas
aggravated by intense cerebral az
tivity of the patient. due TO his great
mental strain incident to planning
further Developments OF the aero
plane, anxiety over the outcome, and
solicitude incident TO extensive litiga-
ton involving patent rights.
The fever rose To 103, 104, 105, and
on last Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock
the patient was suddenly plunsed
into an intense chill when his temper-
ature rose TO log. The cause Of the
chill is not known. the doctors say.
On Monday slight kidney and blad-
der complication developed and threat
ened much trouble, but was partly
overcome within "a hours. Wednes-
day at a. M, Mr.. Wright was able
TO take proper amount of nourlsh-
ment for his condition, hut his stupor
was somewhat greater since tho morn
! ing chill. He had been unconscious
for approximately two weeks and dur
ing that period his eyes rolled about
as II in a slightly conscious effort to
recognize members OF the family.
The doctors assert that his clean
mode OF living and consequently rug
ged constitution were all that pro-
longed life.
The Rev. Milton Wright once found
an odd mechanical toy which he took
home TO his two boys. He released IL
from his hands, and instead OF falling

about the room like "A butterfly.
That was about 80 years ago. The
boys were Wilbur and Orville Wright.
From that mechanical toy they got
their first germ OF enthusiasm over the
problem OF the air.

was completed, Joined his brother In
