MRS, WRIGLEY TO MAKE HOME WITH HER SON

'Prominent Richmond Wom-

n Leaves City for Albion,

PIONEER LEAVES

Sarah A. Writer, one of Rich-

ma a oldest and most prominent women, left last Friday for Albion, Noble county, Indiana, to make her home with her son, Judge Luke Wrigley. Mrs. Wrigley haa been in poor health for some time and on account of her advanced age was unable to maintain her household here. Mrs. Sarah A. Wrigley. who is the oldest daughter of John Finley, at one time mayor of Richmond, and a prominent author, was born in a small cottage on the top of the Whitewater gorge at a spot near where the corner of South Second and B streets is located, on March 6, 1830. At the time of her birth, there were few houses in the town of Richmond,

and all of them were made, either of logs or. of prepared lumber, brought

from the Ohio river at a great expense. Went to School at Four.

She started to school when four

years old, going to school in the morn

lngs and staying for lunch. Her first

teacher was a private tutor who had

to solicit for her pupils and who taught

only the rudiments of learning, such as the letters and work that is now

taught in the kindergarten. Although there were no kindergartens then, the

private school was very much like that

modern institution.

Later she attended a private school in the Warner building, located where the city hall now stands. It was here

that she received her common school education. After finishing the course in that school she attended a Friends' school and received a higher education. In 1854, Sarah Finley was married to Lu H. Wrigley, a young man who came to this city as a school teacher. After their marriage they moved to Newcastle,. Ind., and while there, Mr. Wrigley was publisher of the Newcastle Courier. After staying there only a few. years, they returned to Richmond and later Mr. Wrigley went to Nebraska during a big land boom in that part of the country. Active in Relief Work. During the Civil war, Mrs. Wrigley was active in the relief work of the Union army. Her brother, John . H. Finley, was a major in the 69th Indiana volunteers and upon his . being wounded in the second assault on Vicksburg, Mrs. Wrigley went south and returned with her wounded broth- - er and another wounded Union officer. I Through her father, who was at that time mayor of Richmond, she was able to do much active work in relief and sanitation. Her husband died during the Civil war, behind the Confederate lines in Texas, where he had gone to visit some relatives, and his body was buried in Texas. The- exact date of his death could not be learned then as it was, impossible to communicate with his Texas relatives during the war. It was later learned that his death occurred in 1S63. From 1864 until 1903, Mrs. Vv ', ;.,lsy was librarian of the Morrisson-Reeve3 library. When the library, a gift of Robert Morrisson, was being collected and put on the shelves, Jesse Brown, a friend of Mrs. Wrigley assisted in the work and was given the office of librarian. He later accepted the position of superintendent of schools, however, and the position was given to Mrs. Wrigley. Mrs. Wrigley has two sons, Roy, Finley Wrigley, who is now in Santa Monica. California, and Judge Luke H. Wrigley, circuit judge of Noble and Whitley counties, with whom she has gone to make her home.
