[Transcribed on March 8, 2008 by RLJ from microfilm of the original newspaper on file in the Bloomfield-Eastern Greene County Public Library.] Estella Ethel MEREDITH was born July 9, 1884, near the little town of Cincinnati, {Center Township, Greene County,} Indiana, and died at Portland, Oregon, October 17, 1922, aged thirty-eight years, three months and eight days. She was the daughter of Calvin N. and Margaret MEREDITH. She was married to Jerry RICHARDSON October 17, 1903. After a short wedded life her husband was killed in a coal mine. August 22, 1907, she was married to William B. WRIGHT, who was a faithful husband, friend, counselor and loved one until death claimed her. She leaves with him to mourn her departure four sisters- Mrs. Artincia COLE, Mrs. Bertha RAINGE, Mrs. Goldie SAMPSON and Mrs. Cleda HARRIS, and two brothers-Rolla and Charles E. MEREDITH-all living in the state of Washington. Also a grandmother-Mrs. Clara MEREDITH-of Solsberry, Indiana, besides a number of other relatives and friends. Her mother and a younger sister, Gertrude, and three little brothers, who died in infancy, preceded her some years ago. She was a member of the Christian church and a teacher in the Sunday school. It was her delight to teach a class of Sunday school scholars and point them to the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world. She had the implicit faith in the Christ and exemplified Him in her life. Her glory was in service for others. For this reason, she was always found doing good when she had opportunity. When an incurable disease fastened itself upon her mortal body she never once murmured nor complained. All that pray and friends could do was done to relieve her sufferings, but all was to no avail. When she realized that the end was near among her last requests was that she be taken back to the East, and her body placed where she had selected years ago. Her last husband and her friends promised to carry out this request. Last Saturday, November 25, a casket containing her mortal body was taken to the home of relatives, Mr. and Mrs. Irvin RAY. Sunday it was taken to the Christian church, and after an appropriate funeral service by the Rev. HOOTMAN, then was taken to the cemetery and her body laid to rest beside her former husband. - Link to the Obituary of her grandfather, Squire MEREDITH [1835OH-1922IN]: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.indiana.counties.greene/9945/mb.ashx - Link to the Obituary of her aunt, Mary C.
