The Ionia Daily Sentinel, Thursday, October 4, 1911

The death of Mrs. Grosvenor A. Wright occurred last night at 11:30 o’clock at 
her home on Rich street, terminating an illness that began about three years 
ago and which for the past ten months has been growing steadily worse.  Since 
last December Mrs. Wright has been confined to the bed practically all the 
time.

Mrs. Wright was born in Handen, Ohio, Sept. 18, 1873, and was 33 years of age 
at the time of her death.  When she was a year old the family moved to Eaton 
Rapids where she resided after that, and where she attended the public schools 
and graduated.  Mrs. Wright taught school for four years in Eaton Rapids and 
then came to Ionia and taught for three years here.

Her marriage to Mr. Wright took place August 16, 1899, and with the exception 
of a little over two years when they resided in Detroit they have made their 
home here. One child born to them died in infancy ten years ago.  Mrs. Wright 
was an attendant at the Methodist church and previous to her departure for 
Detroit was a member of the Ladies’ Literary club in which she took an active 
interest.

The funeral will be attended Friday afternoon at 2:30 from the house and 
conducted by Rev. M. M. Callen.  The body can be viewed after one o’clock 
Friday by the friends.  Burial will take place in Highland park cemetery.  

Besides the husband Mrs. Wright is survived by a half brother, W. S. Kelch, of 
Chicago, and her mother, Mrs. Lyda L. Kelch, who has made her home here for 
some time with her daughter.
