Obituary for Edgar Romain WRIGHT
The Rushville Times, September 24, 1880, from the Tecumseh Journal
Edgar R. Wright died at his residence in Tecumseh, Tuesday night, September 14, 1880 of Gerebritis. Mr. Edgar Romain Wright was born at Marcelles, Onondago county, New York, October 6th, 1834 and was at the time of his death, aged 45 years, 11 months and 8 days.
This city was thrown into a deep state of sorrow on Wednesday
morning last by the announcement that E. R. Wright had died Tuesday night at 11 o'clock. Although not unexpected, yet is seemed almost beyond belief that so stout and healthy a man as Mr. Wright had always appeared, should be called from our midst, when he was just in prime of life.
In company with Mr. Charles McCrosky, Mr. Wright came to Tecumseh, Nebraska from Illinois in the fall of 1871, and engaged in the merchandising business, since then he has been indentified with every movement tending to the advancement or improvement of the town and county in which he lived. By his death Tecumseh loses one of her best and most honored business men, and one in whom all had a friend.
In July 1880, Mr. Wright was feeling quite poorly and concluded that a trip to Colorado would be of benefit to him, but contrary to expectations, it only tended to hasten him to an early grave. After his return from Colorado, Mr. Wright was seen but a few times on our streets.
The deceased leaves a wife and six children, his mother and a sister in Tecumseh, besides a large circle of friends who deeply mourn his untimely death. There is not a man, woman or child in this city, or in fact Johnson county, who has not lost a friend by the death of Mr. E. R. Wright of Tecumseh.
It is thought the funeral will take place today, under the direction of the Knight Templars, assisted by the Masonic Fraternity, of which organizations Mr. Wright was a member.
