Waukegan Daily Gazette - November 2, 1897
MRS. WM. WRIGHT DEAD

Passing Away at Evanston of One of Waukegan's Earliest Settlers


Mrs. Corissande Wright, relict of the late William H. Wright, died of heart 
failure this morning at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Frank Sherman, in 
Evanston.  Mrs. Wright had been ailing for some time, and her death was not 
unexpected.

The deceased, whose maiden name was Fitch, was born in Brattleboro', Wermont, in 
1817 and came to Waukegan with her husband in 1845, since which time she had 
resided here almost continuously, Mr. Wright being established in business in 
this city for many years.  After his death in 1889, however, Mrs. Wright spent 
much of her time with her daughters in Evanson.

Besides her two daughters, Mrs.Frank Sherman and Mrs. Walter Gates, Mrs. Wright 
leaves a large circle of devoted friends who will mourn her death.

The funeral services will be held from the residence of Mrs. Frank Sherman, 903 
Monroe St., Evanston, Thursday forenoon at an hour to be announced by the 
Chicago papers.  The remains will be brought by the C. & N. W. H'y to Waukegan 
for burial.
