MR. G.W. WRIGHT, SR., DEAD—The Stroke of Paralysis Resulted Fatally Last Night.

Mr. G.W. Wright, Sr., died at his home at Sterling last night about midnight.  
He had been lying between life and death since Sunday morning, the result of a 
stroke of paralysis on Friday.

The news of Mr. Wright’s death was brought to the city this morning, and, 
although it was not altogether unexpected, was received with genuine 
expressions of regret.

The deceased had been in ill health for some time and had determined to go to 
Savannah for treatment.  The stroke of paralysis occurred just on the eve of 
departure for that city.

Drs. Elliot of Savannah and Branham of Brunswick were in almost constant 
attendance on Mr. Wright’s bedside from Sunday until death came last night.

Mr. Wright was one of Glynn county’s pioneers, having lived in the county 
almost all his life.  He leaves a large family, all residents of Glynn county, 
and all of whom were with him in his last illness.

Besides the bereaved wife, eight children survive Mr. Wright—Messrs. James S., 
Charlton and G.W. Wright, Jr., Mrs. P.W. Fleming and Misses Ada, Daisy and 
Bessie Wright.

In the hearts of all the older citizens of this section Mr. Wright held the 
warm place of personal friendship, and he was known to all as a man to respect 
and honor.

A special train on the Southern will bring the remains and the funeral party 
to the city at 3 o’clock this afternoon.  The funeral services will occur at 
St. Mark’s Episcopal church, conducted by Rev. H.E. Lucas.  The remains will 
be interred in Oak Grove cemetery.
