PROF. CHARLES T. WRIGHT
PASSES AWAY

An acute illness of several days
duration terminated early Thursday
morning when Prof. Charles Thomas
Wright quietly passed away at his
home in Bel Air Mr.. Wright was
seventy two years or age and for the
past seven years had been retired. His
entire life effort had been in the field
Of educational work, in which chosen
line he had occupied many positions
of trust and Importance.
Born near Shawsville, Mr.. Wright
received his early education in the
public schools Of the county and at the
old Bethel Academy. Following this
preliminary training he entered West
ern Maryland College for which in
stItution he always cherished high
regard. Leaving college Mr.. Wright
taught at Stewartstown, Pa, then at
Colerain Of the same state, leaving the
latter place to assume charge Of the
preparatory school Of Western Mary
land College.
His intimate connection with our
own schools began a few years later
when he became Principal of the Bel
Air High School but shortly he was
again recalled to his alma mater to
assume the chair of English and His
tory. Again returning TO public school
work Prof. Wright became Principal
of the Havre de Grace High School
remaining until appointed County
Superintendent in 1903, which position
he successfully filed until III health
forced his resignation In 1915.
Since that time Mr.. Wright when
physically able had given literally
of his time and efforts in matters of
community and county uplift and in
leisure moments had derived much
personal enjoyment among his books
which he 80 well loved. A clear think
or and natural scholar with retentive
memory, he possessed unusual talent
as n public entertainer and during a
long period OF years was frequently
called on in this capacity. Mr., Wright
was a vonnfsprnt monIbor OF the frcr-
byterian church and active In the ar
fairs Of that denomination.
In 1879 Mr. Wright married Miss
Hannah Elizabeth Jackson by whom
he is survived, In addition TO four
daughters: Mrs. John l.. Irwin, Of Alb
erdeen; Miss Almira Wright, County
Nurse of Bel Air; Mrs. Benton II.
Gross, of Bel Air; and Miss Carlotta
Wright, of Baltimore.
The funeral will take place from his
late residence Saturday morning at
1890 interment to be made in Bethel
Cemetery.

WHEN CAR HITS WALL

While returning from seeing a pa
tient about 2 o'clock Tuesday morning
DIR. ]. F. II. Gorsuch of Fork, received
a severe jolt when his chauffeur be-
came confused in the fog and drove
the automobile into a stone wall. So
great was the jar DR.. Gorsuch was
hurled to the floor of his machine and
painfully stiffened up. His daughter,
Miss Gertrude, was crushed against
the top and cut and bruised about the
head.
Despite the fact that the Doctor
possesses frame capable Of housing
a mighty big hurt his natural Tgor
and cheerful disposition promptly came
to the rescue and he was soon on the
mend. A few more days no doubt
will find him At to meet physical
grind in the line of his profession
which would tax the strength Of men
forty years his junior.
