DAVID WRIGHT DIES

Settled in Cedar County in 1855

Wilton, March 18-David Wright, one of the old and respected citizens of 
Wilton, died this morning at 1:15 o’clock, March 18, at his home here, after 
an illness of short duration. Mr. Wright had not been feeling well for some 
months, and last Wednesday was taken down in what proved to be his last 
illness. He grew worse from that date and passed away early this morning.

David Wright was born in Salem County, New Jersey, on May 2, 1821. He spent 
his youth in that state and came west as far as Ohio in the early 1850’s. He 
was married to Hannah Ford, daughter of George Ford and Phoebe Hutchinson,  at 
Benton, Ohio,  January 1, 1851 and after a residence of a few years in that 
state he came to Iowa in 1855 and settled in Cedar County, 8 miles north of 
Wilton, where he resided at the time of his death.

Mr. Wright’s wife passed away October 20, 1896. Mr. Wright is survived by six 
children-Mrs. Elizabeth Hall of Peabody, Kansas, Jay Wright of Kellogg, Iowa, 
David Wright of Tipton, Charles Wright of Atalissa, Lincoln Wright of Wilton, 
and Mrs. Theodore Kistenmacher of Davenport.

The funeral will probably be held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o’clock at the M. 
E. Church at Wilton, with interment in Oakdale Cemetery, Wilton.
