DIED--WRIGHT--In Friendship, May 24th, of malignant cancer, William M.
WRIGHT, aged 63 years and 9 months.

Mr. WRIGHT came to Friendship, and settled here in 1858, and ever since
that time has been the owner of a house known as Wright's Hotel. His
acquaintance throughout the State was quite extensive. He held the position
of sheriff for one term. He leaves a widow and five children--two sons and
three daughters. The disease of which he died, first made its appearance
last summer upon his upper lip, and he went to Chicago and had it removed
by a surgical operation. The relief proved brief and the cancer reappeared
in a few months, attacking the glands of the throat, and progressing
rapidly to the fatal end.
