Last Ties for WM. WRIGHT, JR.

William Wright, Jr., of 305 East Park Avenue, member of a prominent Terrebonne 
family, died at Ellender Hospital at 6:30 a.m. Monday, December 8.  He was 84 
years of age.

Son of the later William Wright and Sarah Fields, Mr. Wright was born on Concord 
Plantation on Bayou Black, one of a family of five children.

He was widely known throughout the parish having engaged in various business 
enterprises in the community which contributed greatly to the commercial life 
and prosperity of early Houma.

Always an admirer of horses, he was among the first operators of a livery stable 
back in the days when horse and buggy transportation was a luxurious novelty in 
the Bayou country.

He was married to the late Christiana Kohn of New Orleans, who preceded him in 
death some years ago, and is survived by two sons, J. K. of Houma and W. J. 
Wright of Artisian, New Mexico; three daughters, Mrs. T. Baker Smith of Houma, 
Mrs. Ruth Meek of Houston, and Mrs. Laura Kyner of Fort Worth, Texas; one 
sister, Mrs. Ed Thomas of Lafayette and numerous nieces and nephews.

The Chauvin Funeral Home had charge of arrangements.
