       Suffolk Letter. 

[...] 

  Nathaniel Wright, who died some five miles from Suffolk, and who would have 
been 74 on 16th, died on night of the 13th of this month.  He was a member of 
Bethlehem church, and the funeral services were conducted from the church on 
Saturday afternoon.  Pastor H.H. Butler was at Antioch church and hence the 
duty fell upon me.  He was one of the old types of plain, industrious, honest, 
religious men.  He attended to his own business, trained his children, to love 
Christ and the church, and : was faithful to all the relations of life.  His 
good name lingers among his friends.  He was willing to go.  His second wife 
died just two months before him.  He leaves two married daughters, one single 
daughter, and eleven grandchildren.  They have hope of reunion in the house 
with many mansions.
