Mrs. Mac REISEL of New York city is a guest of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. ROTE-ROSEN. The Poultley Journal [VT] http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/link.php?action=detail&id=59595 ============================== Obituary Died in New York, March 25, Rev. Theodore Sedgwick WRIGHT, the esteemed pastor of the first colored Presbyterian Church in that city, aged 50. Mr. WRIGHT was a spiritually minded man, and laborerd in season and out of season to promote the temporal and spiritual welfare of his flock, to whom he was much attached, and by whom he was greatly beloved. He was a member of the Executive Committees both of the American and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society and of the American Missionary Association. Within a few years, he was chosen Moderator of the third Presbytery of the city of New York. A year or two since, his health began to fail, and in company with his aged and venerated father, who survives him, he went to Nassau, N.P., where he was received with much attention by the Governor and ministers. Although he felt keenly the wrongs perpetrated upon his people, he made it a constant practice to pray for slaveholders, while he poured out his whole heart in supplication for the oppressed. I well remember that, some years since, a distinguished Southern lawyer, who was also an elder in the Presbyterian church, and a slaveholder, accompanied me to a lecture of Mr. WRIGHT's, and, after hearing the prayer, the sermon, the singing, and observing the respectable appearance of the congregation, and the neatness of their place of worship, he exclaimed, "What a sight; what an excellent prayer and discourse; how respectable everything appears here. I was never in such a place before; I have been greatly interested in the services; I am determined I will not live as I have done," &c. The funeral was attended by a large concourse of people, and the corpse was borne on the shoulders of some young men, while the pall-bearers, minister and elders, black and white, and a long procession of men, followed to the church of the deceased, where appropriate funeral services were performed. Thus has died a most estimable minister of the gospel, in the midst of usefulness, leaving but few so holy or beloved. The National Era---8 April 1847 published in Washington D.
