Jackson Argus – Butts County, Week of January 7, 1898
Miss Annie Wright Dies

Great was the gloom cast over the town on Tuesday morning when it became known 
that Annie, daughter of Mr. J. R. Wright was dead.

Snatched away in the bloom of youth when all prospects for the future were 
brightest, the news filled the hearts of all with extreme sadness.

In last September when the malady seemed threatening she went to Fountain City, 
Tennessee, hoping that the mountain climate would prove beneficial; but when 
six weeks had passed without the return of former vigor her father went to 
bring her home.

Since that time she grew gradually worse until on last Monday evening just as 
the sun was shedding its last beams the sweet spirit took its flight.

In early life she took the Savior as her shepherd and since that time has lived 
a consist member of the Baptist church. 

She was characterized by her gentleness, kindness and obedience.  In school she 
was a strict adherent to duty, ambitions to excel without suppressing others, 
and conscientious in every line of work.  Realizing her condition she found 
comfort in prayer and in close communication with her Savior.

Once when peace filled her soul and she wanted to give vent to her feelings in 
song but was restrained by the feeble voice, she was consoled by her 
grandmother telling her to think it over and it would be just as acceptable in 
the sight of the Lord.  Just a few moments prior to her death, with what 
strength was left, she shouted praises to his name.

Though she has gone from this earth and we see her face no more yet she has 
left behind an influence for good and an example for righteous living.

To the grief stricken father, brother and morning relatives we extend our 
deepest sympathy.  Let us so live that when the summons comes to us that we, 
like Annie, may be prepared for that bright and glorious  home where no parting 
will ever be.

One who loved her.
