Mrs. Bertha Wright, wife of Walter Wright, died at their home in Waldron, Wednesday morning at 1 o'clock, from pneumonia which followed an attack of Spanish influenza contracted two weeks ago. She was aged thirty-four years and twenty-six days and was one of the very well known women of Liberty township.

The deceased was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Davisson and was born near Waldron, Sept. 28, 1884. All her life had been spent in the Waldron vicinity. Besides the husband, she leaves one son, Carl, fourteen years of age. She is also survived by her parents, who reside at Waldron, and by two sisters and three brothers, namely, Mrs. Herbert Wagner, of this city; Miss Lucile Davisson, of Waldron; O. O. Davisson, of Indianapolis; Harry Davisson, of Kankakee, ill., and Elmer Davisson, who is attending the S. A. T. C. at Purdue University.

Mrs. Wright was a particularly lovable woman and possessed countless friends. Her death will bring sadness to many persons, who knew her very well. She was a devout member of the Waldron M. E. Church.

Funeral services were held at the late home Friday morning at 10 o'clock, Rev. Fred Young, pastor of the Waldron Baptist Church, officiating. Burial was made in Forest Hill cemetery in charge of Stewart & Fix, undertakers.
