Obituary

WILLIS J. WRIGHT

Willis J. Wright was born Jone 17th, 1814, in what is now Union county, Ind. He died at his home in Rensse - laer, April 6th, 1886, at about 2 o’cock in the afternoon. At the age of 17 he remeved with hie parents to White county, this state, where he lived until about the year 1838, when he visited the Rapids of the Iroquois in search of work, at his trade, which was that of a carpenter. Finding work plenty and being much pleased with the location of our town and the surrounding coun - try, he determined to make this his future home. He readily adapted himself to the inconveniences of a new and undeveloped country and endured the hardships and privations with the same genial, pleasant disposition which ever marked his daily life and intercourse with his fellow men. Being possessed of a strong constitution and upright moral character, he could well endure the exposures incident to a frontier life He was married March 12th, 1845. to then Miss Minerva A. Faris, whoresided with her parents on a farm in what is now Newton county, Indiana. Upon their marriage Mr. Wright brought his, wife to the home he had prepared situated on the ground where he died. Here they continued to live (except for the short period when he lived {where Mr. Charles Platt now resides) during their long and happy life. Five children were born to them, two of these lie buried in our beautiful Weston cemetery. One was called home at the early age of sixteen years, just when life seemed to be most desirous, and the beauties of the world could be understood, the other shortly after her marriage. Three remain, are married and living in our town. Mr. Wright also leaves one sister and a brother, both of whom are present to mingle their tears with oursjand help bear the sorrows, which distress his afflicted family. Mr. Wright was a man of strong will and {fixed -principles. He did his duty to mankind and himself, as he saw it, with candor, honesty and a determination to do right. He was ever a kind husband, a fond and indulgent parent, an upright and honest citizen, not ambitious of worldly honors, yet our citizens saw fit to twice honor him with the office of Sheriff of the county, the duties of which he discharged to the credit of himself and to the entire satisfaction of all with whom he had dealings. It would be a gratification to all of us if we could, at the close of so long and useful a life, have so much to be proud of and so little to regret. During the latter years of his life he suffered much at times from the effects of the rheumatism, yet he always bore these pains quietly and without complaint. On the morning of nis attack be was apparently feeling as well as usual, He came down the street, opened the place of his business and passed the time of day with his friends witn every indication that he was yet to live many days and per haps years Shortly before be fell he spoke to one of his sons to call in a physician saying that he was suffering some pain from his old complaint. On his son’s return he found him exhausted and breathing very hard.— Death seemed imminent and it was though*- any moment might be ,da last, but his fne. ds were enabled to remove him to his home, to the bo ■ som of his family, where he lingered until about 2 o’clock the next day.— Shortly before his death he regained consciousness enough to recognize his family and friends and realize’the efforts that were being made for his restoration. His suffering was short a.nd his death easy. In death he looklike a tired man taking his sloep Yes, it was a long sleep from which will be no awakening until the Angel of life shall call all to the resurrection of the jusi.

A FRIEND,

Frank Mullin, a Philadelphia expressman, was taking a box containing two big striped hyenas to the Philadelphia Zoo recently, when he felt a particularly warm and vigorous breath on the back of his neck. He looked around and saw that there was a big hole in the box, large enough to permit either of the beasts to escape, but which was tilled by. the heads of both hyenas, whose white teeth gleamed unpleasantly near his back. With a yell Frank whipped up his horses and dashed through the streets like a madman, never stopping until he reached the Zoo. there the hyenas were beaten back and the hole was boarded over, but Mullin didn’t entirely recover for a day or two. Gen. Longstreet, now a silver-haired veteran, went to see how he was represented in the cyclorama of the second battle of Bull Run in Washington the other day. He was portrayed, with locks much blacker than he wears now. in a group of officers around Gen. Lee. Being asked his opinion of the scene, he said: “Well, it seems to be about all here except the run. ” I
