CANCER ENDS LIFE OF MRS. N. K. WRIGHT

HAD BEEN ILL FOR A LONG TIME. BUT BORE HER SUFFERING WITH A SMILE.

WAS CHRISTIAN WOMAN AND ARDENTLY LOVED

Of Kind Disposition, She Reared Two Neices to Womanhood with the Tenderness of 
a Mother.

The death of Mrs. Newton K. Wright at her home near the schoolhouse Monday 
morning was a shocking surprise to the community. Although Mrs. Wright had been 
ill for a long time with cancer, the end came unexpectedly nevertheless.

Mrs. Wright had always led a good Christian life and had many ardent admirers. 
Among her many deeds of kindness was the opening of her home to her two nieces, 
Miss Nora Samine and Mrs. I. P. Taylor, the latter of Elwell, both of whom were 
left motherless when younger. Mrs. Wright gave them the same tender care as 
though they had been her own children.

During her sickness Mrs. Wright suffered a great deal, but endured it with a 
smile, explaining to those about her that the time would come when all would 
understand. This thought gave her courage and strength.

Mrs. Wright was born October 23, 1851, in the township of Northfield, Washtenaw 
county, and moved to Portland in 1860, where she spent her girlhood days. She 
was married to N. K. Wright, who survives her, December 21, 1881. The couple 
lived in various places throughout the state until a few years ago, when they 
returned to Portland and bought the Mrs. Alfleda Wade property on the north 
hill. Later they bought the cement brick house at streets, built by the late J. 
C. Blacksten, where Mrs. Wright’s death took the corner of Smith and Brush 
Place. 

Funeral services were held at the late home Wednesday afternoon, Rev. Wm. H. 
Skentelbury, of the Congregational church, officiating, and burial took place 
in Portland cemetery.
