A pioneer resident of Victoria passed away at the Royal Jubilee hospital last evening shortly after 6 o'clock in the person of Mrs. Joseph Wriglesworth, who succumbed to injuries received on Sunday afternoon last as she was driving along the Saanich road.
The late Mrs. Wriglesworth was thrown from the carriage in which she was seated near the brick works on the Saanich road. A boy driving a wagon ran into the carriage in which Mrs. Wriglesworth was seated, startling the horses attached to the latter, and as the affrighted animals plunged forward Mrs. Wriglesworth was thrown out upon the roadway. She was picked up and immediately hurried in a passing automobile to the Royal Jubliee Hospital where every attention was given her by Dr. Frank Hall, but her injuries proved too serious, and she passed away last night. The late Mrs. Wriglesworth had been a resident of Victoria since 1858 and was known to a large circle of friends, to whom her cheerful disposition and kind nature endeared her to a marked degree. She was well known, to all the old residents of Victoria and was universally esteemed as one of the most unselfish and kindliest of women. Her death will be keenly felt by a host of friends. She was a sister of Mrs. Langley, wife of Chief of Police Langley and leaves to mourn her death a family of six children, four sons and two daughters . The sons are Charles, Edward, Walter and William. Walter and Edward at present reside at Fernie B.C. and the others in Victoria . The daughters are Mrs. Rhoden and Mrs. Chadwick.
