MRS. C. T. WRIGHT PASSES
Mrs. Henrietta Stifflemire Wright,
85, widow of the late Charles T.
Wright, died at 8:00 a. m. Saturday,
February 1st, 1941, in a hospital in
Coleman, where she had been a
patient two weeks, with pneumonia
and heart complication following an
attack of flu. The body was brought
overland to Elgin, arriving about
10:00 a. m., Sunday, and rested at
the J. C. Miller Funeral chapel from
which place funeral services were
held at 2:00 p. m., with the Rev.
‘ Luther Norman of Austin officiating.
The cortege then proceeded to
Young’s Prairie cemetery south of
Elgin, whre services were conclud-
ed and interment made in the family
burial plot. Pallbearers were Beau-
ford Owens, Wallace Gillum, Alva
Bailey, Ott Arbuckle, R. H. Stewart
and Dewey Bailey.
Mr. and Mrs. Wright made their
home in Young’s Prairie for many
years and were prominently known
in this section. Their friends were
limited only by their acquaintances.
They reared a family of three child-
ren who were ever a source of pride
and credit to them. The hospitality
of the family was widely known and
their home was always open to
friends and others who chanced their
way. They were exemplary, God-
fearing citizens. Mr. Wrifht passed
on some 19 years ago and after a
while spent in South Texas with her
children at Robstown, Mrs. Wright
went to Coleman to make her home
with her daughter, Mrs. Mamie Hel-
ton, where she was when stricken ill.
All the children were at her bedside
when the end came.
Mrs. Wright was a member of the
Church of Christ and a consecrated
Christian whose influence and good-
ness was felt by all who came in con-
tact with her. !She was highly es-
teemed as was attested by the many
beautiful floral emblems sent by
sorrowing relatives and friends as
lost tributes to her memory, which
banked her grave.
Surviving are one daughter, Mrs.
Mamie Helton, Coleman; two sons,
J. H. and Barney Wright, of Robs-
town.
Among those from other places
here or the last rites Sunday were:
Mr. and Mrs. Lee Snowden, Austin;
Mrs. Hallie Bailey, Messrs, and Mes-
dames J. H., Barney and Earl
Wright, Mr. Raymond Yonce and
son Carter Yonce, Mrs. Zera Owens
and Alva Bailey, all of Robstown;

ville; Mr. and Mrs. Bailey Helton,
