JAMES COOPER WRIGHT

  James Cooper Wright, born in Garrett County, Md., May 16, 1887, died at his 
home a short distance north of Salisbury, June 29, at 2 a.m.  He was aged 56 
years, one month and 15 days.  His death was apparently caused by a paralytic 
stroke.  He also had a former stroke, from which he recovered to a considerable 
extent and again became able to do light work.
  The evening before he died he retired early for the night, but did not rest 
well and suffered another stroke and died before a doctor could be gotten to 
him.
  He was a son of the late Charles and Margaret Cooper Wright, who for many 
years resided on a farm in Greenville Township.
  He is survived by his wife, Grace, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Frank 
Murray, Greenville Twp., and by three sons and one daughter, namely, Roy and 
Earl, in the U.S. Army, one in Egypt, and the other in some other portion of 
Africa; Harold at home, and Edna, wife of Paul Fullem, of Elk Lick Township.  
Surviving also are a brother and a sister, Oscar Wright of Jennerstown, and Mrs. 
Norman Wilhelm of Greenville Township.
  Funeral services today (Thursday) at the family home, at 3:00 p.m., conducted 
by Rev. A. Jay Replogle, pastor of the Salisbury Church of the Brethren.  
Interment in the Salisbury I.O.O.F. Cemetery, under the direction of Stanley M. 
Thomas.
