    3. Recieved this yesterday from a wonderful lady in Crawford, I am posting this here as it pertains to some Ex Randolph families. Sorry I didnt get the name of news paper concerned yet,I would think it was the 1910 local Girard one. WRIGHT- In Crawford township, Feb 8th, 1910, of heart trouble. Alfred G Wright, aged 41 years and 11 months. Death was very sudden. He had been working for Wm.HOLLAND, on the old fair grounds, this winter, and Tuesday was not feeling well and walked to Girard in the afternoon to get some medicine, returning home and helping to do the feeding in the evening, later eating supper. He went to bed about 9 o'clock, and about fifteen minutes later got up, saying he could not get his breath. He died in Mr Hollands arms within a few minutes. Mr Wright was reared by Mr and Mrs John ANDREW, his mother dying when he was two years old. He accompanied the Andrew family to this county in 1886, and has been with them most of the time since. He was a bachelor. The funeral will take place at 2 o'clock this afternoon from the home of John Andrew, one mile west of the cemetery, Rev. A.H.Morrison officiating. He was a member of Girard Lodge No 55, I.O.O.F. Sadly, Alfred never married so theres no family to trace for him but at least he has been 'found'. There are still two elusive brothers to be found in the 1900's. Many thanks for help received from this mail list.
