Death of Mrs. C.D. Wright

The people of Moody and vicinity were pained to learn of the death of Mrs. C.D.
Wright (nee Day) at the family residence in South Moody last Sunday morning at
9:05 o'clock, following a brief and very unexpected illness.  During the early
morning hours Sunday it was thought she was improving, and that something might
be done to restore her health, but medical skill failed.

Mrs. Virginia Day Wright was born near Moody February 27, 1883 and died in Moody
August 4, 1918, being 35 years, 5 months, and 7 days old.

On September 29, 1901, she was married to Chas. D. Wright of near Moody and they
made their home continuously in this city and near here.  To their union three
children, two boys and a girl were born, the children being: John D., aged 13,
Mary, aged 9, and Chas D. aged 6 years.  Besides her husband and children Mrs.
Wright is survived by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Day, near Moody, and two
brothers, Ernest of Waco, and Charles of Galveston and one uncle, J.M. Day.

Mrs. Wright was converted at the age of 12 years, and united with the Eagle
Springs Baptist Church of which she was still a member.  Her life as a Christian
was always bright and happy, she constantly endeavoring to live up to her duty
as a church member.

Funeral services were conducted at the family home at 4:00 o'clock Monday
afternoon,Rev. P.P. Lewis of Waco conducting the services, assissted by Rev.
J.Frank Kane of Waco, after which the remains were tenderly laid to rest in the
Moody cemetery.  The attendance at the services and the procession to the
cemetery was one of the largest seen here in many years, and the floral
offerings were many and beautiful.

The Pall bearers were C.H. Howard, Bill Dixon, B.O. Beard, W.O. Hill, Floyd
Naler, Bruce Campbell, Linus Hargett, Jose B. McKindley.
