When one is borne on the wings of music into the Heavenly Father's loving presence, we cannot help being buoyed up with the thought that such a going home is most beautiful and comforting, and we feel that never were more appropriate than now the noble lines from Tennyson, which say:
"The face of death is toward the sun of Life.
His shadow darkens earth; his truer name
is onward.
No discordance in the roll and march of
that eternal.
Harmony whereto the world beat time,
tho faintly heard
Until the great Hereafter, mourn in hope."
Such was the happy lot of him in whose memory we meet today to do honor and reverence.
David D. Wright was born near Victor, April 23rd., 1853 and all of his splendid life was spent in and around this community. At an early age he took a stand on the Lord's side, joining the Christian Church at South Union where he has been a life long and devoted member. He was also a member of Harrodsburg Lodge 801 I. O. O. F. Aug. 29th., 1900 he was joined in marriage to Susan Huff and their walk together through the few short years have been touched with joy that only true and noble souls can know.
When lifes fitful spell is summoned up and we judge worth, by deeds on earth, we stand with bowed heads and say truly here is one of God's noblemen.
A man whose word was never questioned, whose motives were pure and good, whose record is an encouragement to all, and whose life is an inspiration to his family and friends, surely this is a legacy not to be measured by riches and the star in the crown such a life will win one of enfailing luster.
Saturday evening while listening to the sweet strains of that beautiful song "Face to Face." While his heart was stirred with tone and his soul ringing with the harmony, and never was summons more willingly answered.
He was 59 years, 2 months and 13 days of age and leaves to mourn, but still to mourn with hope, two children by a former marriage; his wife Susan HH. Wright, her two sons and one daughter, many relatives and a host of friends, all of whom realize that for him this is a call to something better, and while separation and grief grips their hearts, they still believe that God reigns and does all things well.
Sunset and Evening Star
and one clear call for me
And may there be no moaning of the bar
When I put out to Sea.
But such a tide as morning seems asleep
Too full the sound of roamd
When that which drew from out the
boundless deep
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell
And after that the dark,
And may there be no sadness of farewell
When I embark.
Far tho from out the bourne of time and
place.
The flood may bear me far.
I have hope to see my Pilot Face to Face
When I have crossed the bar.
