W.B. Crewdson of the Christian Church in Logan, a life long friend of the family, who paid high tribute to the sterling qualities and character of the deceased. Music was furnished by W.H.T. Wellons, Clarence B. Day, Mrs. F.V. Kemp, and Mrs. Alterkruse. A large concourse of sorrowing friends and relatives gathered at the home to pay tribute to this woman whom all had known so long and held in such high respect. Burial was made in the Glenwood Cemetery. The pall bearers were J.R. Graves, L.H. Sell, Paul Roenfeldt, Frank Hammond, George Howard, and Albert Asmussen. Nancy Catherine Wright was born in Missouri, January 20, 1857, and died at her home east of Glenwood, October 15, 1934. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Linville. They moved to this county when she was about two years old, and this has been her home ever since, some 75 years. She was married to Frank Wright, member of another prominent pioneer family, January 29, 1880, and four years ago last winter they celebrated their golden wedding anniversary. Three sons were born to them: Roy and Earl of this county, and Jay of Omaha. They, with the husband, five grandchildren, and one great grandchild survive her. She is also survived by one brother, Louis Linville, of Emmett, Nebraska, and one sister, Mrs. Sallie Hobart of Chicago. When a child, she united with the Christian Church in Glenwood of which she has ever since been a member, and lived a consistent Christian life. She was devoted to her home and found her greatest pleasure in ministering to those nearest and dearest to her.
