Sunday night at her home in Indianapolis, Mrs. Fannie Wright, relict of the late John Wright, passed away after a short illness, aged over 79 years. She had been in feeble health for some time and the shock of the recent deaths of her son, Charles Wright, and her daughter, Mrs. Mary Booth, it is supposed hastened her end. She leaves a son, John Wright, and a daughter, Anna, both of Indianapolis. The body was brought to this city Wednesday noon and taken from the train to Oak Hill Cemetery for interment.

Mrs. Wright lived in this city for many years and her splendid Christian character and her noble life had endeared her to all that were favored with her acquaintance. Her husband was a pioneer Methodist minister and will be remembered by many of the members of the Methodist Church in this city. -s
