Wright, wife of Walker Wright, three days before she completed her 42nd year. She was born in Franklin county, Va, June 24th, 1824, and moved to Missouri with her father, Rev. Thos. B. Greer, in the spring of 1840 – married August 8th, 1842. She was for 23 years the best of wives, and long the noblest of mothers. I cannot describe her devotion to her family, especially to her husband. She leaves to mourn her departure a devoted husband, six sons and five daughters, (one an infant but a few days old,) and a very large circle of relatives, warm friends and neighbors. But we mourn not as those who mourn without hope, for she died trusting in the Lord. Such considerations should be a solace to the beloved friends she has left behind. May God in her mercy grant comfort to all the afflicted, and may the influence of her death be sanctified to the spiritual good of her bereaved husband and child! ren, that they may seek to become christians and their last moments be like her’s – calm and peaceful. Her remains were placed by the side of her dear old father’s, in the Baptist grave yard on the farm of Bird S. Webb. “Tis finish’d! the conflict is past, The heaven-born spirit is fled! Her wish is accomplished at last, And now she’s entomb’d with the dead. The days of affliction are o’er, The days and nights of distress; We see her in anguish no more, She’s gained her happy release. A FRIEND
