The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Lucas County, Iowa; Thursday, January 23, 1908
LUCIEN GEORGE WRIGHT, son of GEO. and NETTIE WRIGHT, was born in Warren Township, Lucas County, Iowa, January 2, 1880, and died January 18, 1908 at the age of twenty-eight years and sixteen days. He received his early education at the May School. At the age of twenty he entered Drake University where he attended college, one year after which he took the civil engineering course at Ames for four years where he would have graduated with the class of 1906 if failing health had not compelled his leaving school.
Eight years ago he united with the Christian Church, University Place, in Des Moines, and has since then lived a faithful Christian life. The greater part of the past two years he had spent in Colorado in hopes of benefiting his health. His father and mother were with him at the time of his death in Rocky Ford, and accompanied his remains to Iowa for interment.
Funeral services conducted by Rev. Moore of Chariton, were held Tuesday at the May Baptist Church. Interment was made in the Derby Cemetery. Besides his father and mother he leaves a brother, EUGENE WRIGHT, and a sister, MRS. NELLIE MILLER, also many friends who will sincerely mourn his loss. The sympathy of the entire community goes out to the mourning relatives in the hour of their affliction.
There is no death! What seems so
is transition;
This life of mortal breath is but a
suburb of the life elysian;
Whose portal we call death.
