Dr. Theodore Wright, who died yesterday at his home in New York city, was at one time a prominent physician of this town, though he had not been a resident of Plainville for the past 20 years. Many of the older residents of Plainville will re- member him as one of the best phy- sicins in the locality. He held the office of medical examiner for this district for good many years. On his retire. ment from that office 10 years ago, Dr. J. c. Moody of this town was ap- pointed to fill his vacancy. Dr. Wright Twas also once a member of the local school board. He was a staunch re- publican but not very active in politics as his practise did not give him much opportunity to attend the regular town meetings. As a Justice of the Peace. pr. Wright heard hundreds of cases in Plainville.
 While in Plainville Dr. Wright lived in the house now known as The Dwell ly House on West Main street. Dr. Wright's body is expected to arrive at 11:57 o'clock tomorrow morning from Berlin. Funeral services will be held at the West cemetery.
