The Pike County Journal Zebulon, Pike County, Georgia: May 20, 1892 The Silent Reaper Will Wright, a son of Rev. J.A. Wright, of this community, died of typhoid pneumonia last week. At the time of his death he had charge of the commissary department at the Chattahoochee brick works. His remains were brought to Zebulon for burial, and the funeral was preached at the Baptist church in this place by Rev Harry Wells. No young man, perhaps, had a more enviable reputation here than Will Wright, and his death unexpected as it was, was a severe shock to not only to relatives, but also to his many friends. The Journal sympathizes with the parents in the loss of their boy, a dear good fellow, and sincerely hopes that they may be greeted by him on the celestial hills where flowers bloom perennially, and where the immortal halo of life encircles the brow of all God’s children.

To any Hammond researchers, Will's mother, Cynthia Elizabeth Hammond (1853-1943), was the sister to my GG Grandfather, Charles Milas Hammond (1849-1922) of Spalding County, who was married to Rosie Crawley (1850-1926), of the Crawley family well known to Pike County. If you are researching the Hammond family or this part of the Crawley family, I would like to correspond with you.
