The Belding Banner, Wednesday, December 5, 1917

The death of Mrs. Charlotte Wright occurred at the home of her daughter, Mrs. 
Fred Smith, on the Belding farm, Thursday, November 29, aged eighty years.  
She had not been in good health for sometime.

Mrs. Wright was born in Canada in 1837 and when six years old came with her 
father, Ensign Rexford, to Keene, making the journey with a team and covered 
wagon.  She was married in 1862 to Austin D. Wright of Lowell and they moved 
to Belding in 1899.  Mr. Wright died in 1905.

Besides her daughter and daughter-in-law, Mrs. B. J. Wright, of Greenville, 
the deceased leaves two sisters, two brothers, three grandchildren and three 
great-grandchildren.

Mrs. Wright had the distinction of being the first woman to ride on the Grand 
Trunk railroad from Saranac to Lowell after its completion.

The funeral was held Sunday afternoon, Rev. W. A. Bliss, her pastor, 
officiated, and she was laid to rest by the side of her husband in the old 
cemetery.
