"VETERAN OF CIVIL WAR - Cornelius Burright Killed By Accident Near Independence
   
Cornelius W BURRIGHT, who was killed by accident on Horst Bros.' hop ranch while 
operating a grubbing machine last Friday, April 22, was sixty-eight years of age 
having been born in Ohio in 1842.  He enlisted in the civil war in 1860, served 
three years and was then honorably discharged.  He was married to Miss Sarah 
WILLMOTH in 1885 and is survived by her and thirteen children.  Two daughters 
are married, Mrs. Clarence MARKS and Mrs. Bert McCALLISTER.  Of the ten children 
at home, four are of an age that they will be of material assistance to their 
mother in the care of this family.  The accident which took the life of Mr. 
BURRIGHT was doubly sad in the respect that the family which he leaves is large 
and in great need of parental care.
   Mr. BURRIGHT lived about an hour after the accident which cost his life.  The 
little boy was driving the horse which was hitched to the sweep, when some part 
of the harness broke, releasing the sweep which was hurled back with great 
force, striking Mr. BURRIGHT in the side and inflicting mortal injuries.
   The BURRIGHT's came to this place some six years ago having removed here from 
Sodaville where they settled on coming to the coast from Nebraska in 1890. --
