Carlinville Free Democrat, Nov. 28, 1861
Died.  At Mound City, Illinois, on the 7th last, Noah Wright, aged 20 years, 1 
month and 8 days.  The subject of the above enlisted in Capt. Rowett's Company 
July 19th, 1861, for three years' service.  When urged by some of his friends 
to remain at home, his reply was "I would rather go than see my father go," 
thus showing not only a love of country, but a final regard for his parent 
scarecely equaled by one so young.  He was born in Morgan co., Ill., and 
removed with his father to this co. eight years since.  At an early age he 
wisely sought his God, and set for his young companions an example of piety by 
uniting with the church at this place, and ever after sustaining a character in 
unison with his profession.  During his last illness, which lasted but a few 
days, he expressed to his companions a hope in Christ and a willingness to die, 
requesting that his brother might be permitted to return his body to his 
friends at home for interment.  And although his brother was not informed of 
the death until 3 days after the burial, he sought and obtained permission, 
through the kindness of his Captain, Geo. Hunter, to disinter the body and 
bring it home, where it was a second time committed to the earth, followed by 
his numerous friends and acquaintances.    P. C. W.    Charity Church, Nov. 25, 
1861

Additional Comments:
Noah was the son of Basil and Rachel Wright.  He served in the 7th Illinois
