OBITUARY

DAVID WRIGHT

David Wright was born in Cedar County, Iowa, June 6, 1856, and passed away at 
his home in Tipton January 22, 1919 at 9 o’clock a.m. being 62 years, 7 
months, and 16 days of age. He was the son of David Wright and Hannah Ford, 
one of a family of six children, having three brothers,  Jay,  Charles, and 
Lincoln and two sisters,  Elizabeth,  and Mary.

Mr. Wright grew to manhood in the environs of Tipton, and May 14, 1878, was 
married to Ida Elmira Trott. To this union were born eight children, Ralph 
David, of Mobridge, South Dakota, Earl Lincoln of Glendive, Montana, Ora Mae 
of Tipton, Charles of Clinton, Iowa, Guy of Tipton, Iowa, Ira of DeWitt, Iowa, 
Pearl Fern of Tipton, Lloyd J. of Tipton.

Mr. Wright has spent almost all of his life as a farmer in Cedar County, and 
is well known to the old settlers throughout the community. He has been in 
failing health during the last year and grew very much worse last July with 
heart trouble, followed by dropsical condition, the end coming very suddenly 
on Wednesday morning. He was a patient sufferer through the long months and 
seemed to realize that the end was near.

Besides the children mentioned he leaves to mourn his loss a faithful and 
devoted wife, two sisters, Elizabeth Hall of Peabody, Kansas, who could not be 
present at the funeral, and Mrs. Mary Kistenmacher of Davenport, Iowa, one 
brother, Charles, of Atalissa, Iowa, eighteen grandchildren and a host of 
other relatives and friends.

Funeral services were held on Saturday afternoon at the Methodist Church in 
Tipton, with the sermon by Rev. J. N. Naly of the Reformed Church assisted by 
Rev. Will Kirwin, pastor of the Methodist Church and interment was made at the 
beautiful Masonic Cemetery.
