R. SEWELL WRIGHT.

  At 10.30 o'clock Wednesday night R. Sewell Wright, a retired merchant 
of Bedford, died in Washington, D.C., in the 47th year of his age.  Mr. 
Wright, who held a responsible position with the Bedford Springs 
company, had been in poor health for about two months and had started 
to North Carolina in the hope of receiving improvement.  He became too 
ill to travel and died as stated above.  
  The deceased was born at Pleasantville, Bedford county, in which 
county he resided all his life with the exception of five years spent 
in the village of East Freedom, Blair county.  He is survived by his 
wife, five brothers and one sister, these latter being ex-Associate 
Judge John C. Wright, of Bedford; Isaac S. and William P. Wright, of 
Pleasantville; C. C. and G. R. Wright, of Altoona, and Mrs. Cornelia 
Beckley, of Pleasantville.  He was a member of the Lutheran church of 
Bedford.  The funeral announcement will be made later.
