WRIGHT The whole community mourns the death of Mrs.. Emma Lane Wright, wife of Dr. Crispia Wright, which occurred Saturday morning, Feb. 3, 1917. Mrs. Wright has been in failing health the past three years but it was little thought by her friends that the end was so near. She was born in Chicago in 1885 and left there 10 years ago on account of tuberculosis. She made a determined and successful fight against the disease until three years ago when pneumonia caused her to lose in the race, she having steadily lost strength and health since. She had a bright, cheerful, happy disposition and was a noble Christian and a member of the Methodist church in Fruitland. When in good health she was an active worker in the church, the Womans' Home Missionary Society and the W.C.T.U. She leaves to mourn besides her husband, one son, George Dryden, aged 5 1/2 years, a sister, Miss Fanny Lane, a brother, Otis M. Lane, and her father, George H. Lane, all of Chicago, Ill. The sister was on her way in answer to a telegram but was delayed 3 days in Wyoming because of the snow blockade, arriving Monday evening. The funeral was held in the Methodist church at Payette Tuesday afternoon, Rev. C. L. Walker and Rev. Ford Burtch officiating. Dr. and Mrs. Wright and little son have made their home in Fruitland five years and their many friends sympathize with the bereaved family. Interment was made at Payette Cemetery.
