DR. LOUISA V. WRIGHT
Dr. Wright's Untimely Death
Last Friday.
The saddest news that has been received in Camas since the incorporation of the town reached here last Friday morning, when it was learned that Dr. Louisa V. Wright had
been kicked by a horse and almost instantly killed.
A deep gloom which time alone can mitigate, was cast over the community when the news was confirmed.
With her husband, Dr. Wright was engaged in harnessing a horse preparatory to driving out to the cemetery, when a white apron worn by the deceased lady caused the
animal to become frightened and lash out its
heels furiously.
The steel-shod hoof caught Mrs. Wright on the chin and broke her neck, death ensued in a very few minutes. Dr. Wright was the daughter of Lewis and Elizabeth Van Vleet, and was born October 30, 1862, at Oak Grove Farm, this county.
She was graduated from the Portland Medical College and from the Michigan Medical College at Ann Arbor.
After returning from the East she practiced medicine in Missoula, coming a short time later to Portland, where she was engaged in the practice of her profession for several years before coming to Camas.
Here she practiced for many years, and her capabilities as a physician were recognized by all who ever had occasion to
call upon her professionally.
Mrs. Wright, who was a member of the board of education here for several years, was the first to advocate a new high school building, and was always prominently in the
lead in all movements for the betterment of the community.
Her funeral took place Sunday morning from her late residence at Parker's Landing, and the interment was at the Fern Prairie Cemetery, within sight of her birthplace.
There was a large attendance, friends coming from all parts of the county and from points in Oregon to pay the last tribute of respect to one whom all respected.
The floral offerings were many and beautiful and an eloquent and deserved tribute was paid to the memory of deceased by Rev. Rossman, who officiated at the
cemetery.
The sympathy of the entire community
goes out to the bereaved husband.
