MICHAEL WRIGHT DEAD

Tuberculosis Ends Life of Valiant Soldier Sunday About Noon.

Michael S. Wright, 34, died at his home at 1824 South A street Sunday about the noon hour of tuberculosis. He had been suffering from this ailment for a long time and spent four months in the Irene Byron sanitarium for disabled soldiers at Fort Wayne, but was not benefited there and was brought home last July.

Michael Wright was born in Pittsburgh and he was in the regular army for a period of nine years, serving through the world war and was honorably discharged from service at its close because of his disability.

He is survived by the widow and three children, Benjamin, five; Betty, three, and Helen, twenty-one months, who have the sympathy of many friends in their bereavement.

The body was removed to the Copher & Fesler establishment and prepared for burial and later returned to the home where it will remain until the hour of the funeral.

The services will be conducted at the M. E. church Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, by Rev. P. E. Greenwalt, assisted by Rev. M. C. Wright and Rev. L. O. Green. The burial will be in the city cemetery in charge of the American Legion and Masonic lodge.
