Mrs. Sarah Wright died last Thursday, after an illness of five months, from dropsy of the bowels. She was aged 76 years and two months.
Sarah Washburn was born in Manchester, Adams county, Ohio, July 29, 1813. She was the eldest of ten children, nearly all of whom are now dead.
On the 6th day of May, 1831, the Washburn family arrived in Clark county and settled a few miles north of Marshall, on the banks of Big creek. There they lived for many years.
On February 11, 1842, Sarah Washburn gave her hand and heart to James Wright. Four children was the result of this union: W.A., Mary, John and Mattie. The first two are dead, Abe departing this life about two years ago.
Mr. Wright died April 26, 1859 and not many months after the bereaved widow removed to Mattoon, where she remained until after the war, moving thence to Terre Haute, where she remained until 1874, when she returned to Marshall.
Mr. Wright joined the Methodist Church early in life, but when the Christian Church was established here she joined that, at the earnest solicitation of her husband, who joined at the same time.
The remains of Mrs. Wright were buried in the Marshall Cemetery Friday afternoon. Rev. Dana Sherrill preached the funeral sermon.
