BARNESVILLE, G-A., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1902. STEVE WRIGHT DEAD FUNERAL EXERCISES CONDUCT ED HERE TUESDAY WITH MA SONIC AND MILITARY HONOR DIED I N COLORADO. Hail Only Keen Away From Oooi-iiia About Two Wi'eli*—His ( aivi r That of Sm-eoss—l’in itro Promisin}*. Mr. Stephen M. Wright died at t :45 o'clock p. m., Thursday last at I’ue'do. Colorado, after a sud den and very brief illness. The immediate cause of Ids death, as given by the chief surgeon of the leading hospital of Pueblo, was Thrombosis. Th<* news of Ids death was a dis tinct shock to Ids family, relatives and friends, and caused great sor row in many hearts and in many homes of his Joyed ones. Only a few short days before, he had left the horn.) of Ids loved ones in Roberta. Oa., for Colorado, there to fry his hand with the Goddess of Fortune. He was in splendid health. Ilis hopes were bright, his ambition high. Ids purpose was : noble and no doubt he had dreams | of great success in that faraway; country. Hut none can know the: future and this splendid and stal wart young man. all unconscious, of the fact, was making a journey to meet the great conquorer of all flesh, Death —lie was going away to die among strangers in a strange land. His people in Georgia did ; not know he was sick but he went to the hospital, ,as the physicians thought, only slightly indisposed, but the day afterward he was dead. A telegram was received by his father, Mr., heVfarTast ‘ Friday, of ids death and instructions were given for the remains to he sent to Barnes-1 ville. The body was shipped from Pueblo Friday night and reached here Monday afternoon at (j o'clock. The funeral services AvonT held at the Baptist church • Tuesday morning at 10 o’clock, and were conducted by Rev. C. \V. Durden and I)r. A. H. MOll-; crief. The remarks of Dr. Mon-j crief were based on the text, “If a man die shall he live again” and were indeed very impressive. He paid a beautiful and loving tribute to ids dead young friend. After | the sermon the masonic brethren jof Crawford County Lodge, No. 408 and Pinta Lodge No. 88 of Barnesville, took charge and con ; eluded the services. The exercises being over at the church, the re ; mains were carried to the ceme tery at the end of .Zebulon street, 1 escorted by the battalion of Gor don Institute cadets, and a host I of mourning relatives and friends and tenderly laid away to await the resurrection, of which the minister had just spoken so pro ; roundly. It is sad to think that Steve Wright is dead. He was well known to the people here. He attended Gordon Institute several terms and was afterwards in busi ness, and if there is the smallest stain on his record we have never known of it. He was a model ! young man, an active Christian, a j thorough gentleman, an excellent I citizen. For several yeans he was I editor of the Roberta Correspon dent. Last year he spent in South | America, and returning home some time ago he had decided to locate in Colorado to which state he went only a week or so ago. He was only twenty-three years old but his life work is at an end, and lie lias already received the re ward of the righteous. “Peace to his ashes!” To his loved ones we extend deepest spmpathy.
