  Big Sandy News, Lawrence Co. KY, Feb. 4, 1927

  G. W. Wright, veteran of the 14th Kentucky regiment of the Union army, succumbed at his home here to kidney trouble and complications Monday at the age of 86 years.

  Mr. Wright was a native of Floyd County, but moved to Lawrence County before the Civil War, and came to Louisa about four years ago. He was a devout member of the Missionary Baptist Church.

  His widow, Mrs. Mary Jobe Wright, and five children survive. The children are: W. J. Wright of S. Charleston, W Va., E. J. Wright of Grayson, Mrs. C. C. Kitchen of Louisa, Mrs. W. P. Clay, Hitchins, C. W. Wright, Blackburn, Va. All of his children were at the funeral except Mrs. Clay who was confined at her room with small pox, and C. W. Wright, who could not be located.

  Funeral services were conducted from the home here by Rev. V. E. Fryman, of the M. E. Church, and the Rev. J. R. Campbell, of the Christian Church. Burial was made in Pine Hill Cemetery.
