OBIT:  In Loving Remembrance.  Mrs. Phoebe Wright was born in 
Alleghany County, VA, Nov. 22, 1832, and died Nov. 18, 1915, age 
eighty-two years, 11 months and 26 days.  "Grandma" (as she was 
affectionately called) was twice married.  Her maiden name was Terry, 
and she was first married to John S. Arritt, who preceded her to the 
grave about 52 years ago.  To this union four children were born, Mrs. 
Virginia A. Tucker, (who died about fifteen years ago), Moses W., of 
Monroe County, Dan F. of Alleghany County, VA; John L. of Ronceverte. 
Her second, Moses G. Wright, died 3/18/1893, and to this union five 
children were born:  Andrew T., of near Bethel, with whom she made her 
home and where she died; Henry, who died in infancy; Joseph O., and 
Mrs. Sallie C. Lipps, of Lewisburg.  "Grandma"  had been a member of 
the Missionary Baptist church since 1885, and died praising the name 
of her Redeemer.  Beside her children and grandchildren, she leaves a 
sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Tucker, of Alleghany, VA, who is eighty-five 
years old, and a brother, Jacob O. Terry, of Minnesota, aged 
eighty-one years.  "Grandma" Wright had been in feeble health about 
two years, and had been bedfast about three months, death resulting 
from the infirmities of old age.  She has lived in the community where 
she died since December 1892, and was liked by all who knew her, and 
she always visited the sick that were within her reach.  The funeral 
services were conducted by Rev. Ben Harrop, and her body was laid to 
rest in Riverview Cemetery Saturday, Nov. 20th there to await the 
coming of the Saviour to make up His jewels.

Comments: Buried in Riverview Cem. beside son, John Lewis Arritt

It was the duty of the Gentlemen Justices to "discharge all the duties 
of the Civel cases."  It was thus stated at the July term of Court, 
1852. Moses G. Wright and Phoebe had three sons and one daughter:  
Andrew Taylor, who was named for Bishop Taylor, Jospeh, Perry and 
Sallie.  Sallie was a beautiful girl.  She married a Mr. Lipps of 
Greenbrier County.

After the death of Mr. Wright, Mrs. Wright with her children moved to 
Greenbrier County, WV.  Mrs. Wright died there a few years ago, at an 
advanced age.
