 The entire community was greatly saddened during the past week by the sudden death of Mrs. Roscoe H. Wright. who for a score of years has been a resident of this village Not until few weeks prior to her death had she been unable to perform the usual duties of the household and to participate in the. community life. For the past two years it had been quite apparent to everyone that her health was failing. A short time be- fore her death she was confined to her room, and though receiving medical aid she daily grew weaker until a council of doctors advised an operation as the only possibility of recovery. On Friday afternoon, Dec. 26, she was taken to the St. Joseph's hospital and there operated upon. While at first this brought relief, yet it was the. opinion of many that permanent relief was impossible, as cancerous growth. had been disclosed. On Tuesday at a. m.. the end came. The funeral was held Friday at 1 D. m. at the church here, of which she had been to the time of her death an active and devoteds member The pastor, Rev. B. O. Bugbee, conducted the service. The death of Mrs. Wright removes from our community a woman whom we shall greatly miss. She was woman of more than ordinary mental ability, having taught school in early life, and for several years beenl a member of the school board of the town. About five years ago the2Aah- fond ". c. T. U. was organized here, and during this period she has been it's president and the moving spirit in it. She was instrumental in getting scientific temperance into the schools here. In the county W. O. T. U. she received recognition and was com mended for her faithfulness and loy- alty. She taught class in the Sun- day school. In the Christian En. deavor society she was an active mem- Der. The high esteem in which she was held was indicated by the large number who attended the funeral, and by the splendid floral tributes which covered the coffin. Floral offerings came from relatives, from friends and neighbors, from the w. o. T. U. or- ganizations and from the Christian Endeavor society. The deceased was sixty years of age. The sympathy of the entire community goes out to the bereaved family.
