J.A. Wright, of this community, died of typhoid pneumonia last week. At the time of his death he had charge of the commissary department at the Chattahoochee brick works. His remains were brought to Zebulon for burial, and the funeral was preached at the Baptist church in this place by Rev Harry Wells. No young man, perhaps, had a more enviable reputation here than Will Wright, and his death unexpected as it was, was a severe shock to not only to relatives, but also to his many friends. The Journal sympathizes with the parents in the loss of their boy, a dear good fellow, and sincerely hopes that they may be greeted by him on the celestial hills where flowers bloom perennially, and where the immortal halo of life encircles the brow of all God's children.
