Obituary

Mrs. Lewis Wright-

Corrine Elizabeth, the second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Duane F. Lockwood, was 
born in Brookfield township, Clinton county, Iowa, December 9, 1885, and grew 
to a beautiful young womanhood and always lived in that community. She was 
united in marriage to Mr. Lewis Wright on Feb. 22, 1912, and this union was 
blessed with a sweet little girl, Helen, now 4 years old. She was a woman of 
high ideals of duty and service and on Easter 1913, she and her husband united 
with the Methodist church at Elwood, Iowa, of which she was a devoted and 
active member. Always present at the service when health and circumstances 
permitted. She was an active and enthusiastic worker in the Ladies’ Aid at 
Elwood and usually present at the regular meetings. Her home life and activity 
in maintaining it was exemplary and no duty or demand upon her strength and 
time seemed too much for her. Her love and devotion to her parents and sisters 
was such that all seemed to lean on her and always enjoyed her presence and 
counsel. As a wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend and neighbor she was a 
fine illustration and we do not understand why she should be taken away so 
soon, except that her work here was finished and her Heavenly Father had 
something better for her to do and enjoy.
She had symptoms of goiter for a number of years but this did not annoy her 
until the last few months when medical advice was asked and an operation was 
suggested. She went to Iowa City the last part of May and was successfully 
operated upon for her trouble and rallied nicely so that she returned home 
Sunday, June 9th. An infection set in, and all that medical skill, kind, 
efficient nursing and all that friends and loved ones could not keep her and 
she passed peacefully away and fell asleep in Jesus on Tuesday, June 18, at 4 
a.m., aged 32 years, 6 months and 9 days.
Besides the sorrowing and bereft husband and daughter, Helen, the parents and 
sisters, Blanche, Cora and Opal, and a large circle of friends and relatives 
survive to mourn her departure. She has done what she could and entered into 
rest.
Funeral services were held from the home, where she had always lived, 6 miles 
southwest of Maquoketa on Thursday, June 20, at 2 p.m., where a large circle 
of friends gathered to pay earthly tribute to the departed and sympathy to the 
living. Burial was made in the Union cemetery, Rev. Davis of Elwood, her 
pastor, assisted by Rev. D. F. Boomershine, officiating.
