George H. Bright passed away at his home, 413 East Fairchild Street, last night at 9:20 o'clock.
He had been ill but five days, of pneumonia, and his friends had hoped that the change for the better yesterday forecasted his ultimate recovery. However, as the day waned, a sudden turn came for the worse, and the night brought the cruelly unexpected end.
Surviving are the widow and two little ones, aged five and eight respectively. His parents and two brothers and a sister, J.A. and H.R. Bright, of Cedar Rapids, and Mrs. R. D. Bowman, of Des Moines, also survive.
The funeral will take place Monday morning, at 10 o'clock from the home, where Rev. C. C. Rowlison will conduct the services. The interment will be in Oakland cemetery.
Mr. Bright was a member of the Fraternal Bankers' Reserve society No. 123, and was liked and respected by all his brothers and sisters. He was a native of Iowa City, and spent the entire 30 years of his young life here. He was a painter by trade, but had been the operator at T. A. Brown's Nickeldom, during the past half-decade, and gave satisfaction to his employer and the public, at all times, as a steady , capable employe.
As a fireman, player and otherwise a young man of energy and activity, he was worthy of all the popularity, that came to him. A tribute by one who knew him best, is paid "con amore", in another column of The Press.
