THE DAILY REPUBLICAN Thursday, July 3, 1884 page 4 column 2
Mrs. Dollie Wright, wife of David L. Wright and daughter of Mrs. William Hankins, died yesterday afternoon at her home just north of the city. Death is terrible in all its forms but when a young wife, in the very bloom of womanhood is cut down it is then that the burden of affliction is almost too great to bear. We are well acquainted with Mrs. Wright and knew her to be a lady of lovely and affectionate disposition. Words of sympathy are of little comfort in dire afflictions like this, but the bereaved family and especially the husband have the condolences of the entire community. The death of Mrs. Wright resulted from consumption. The funeral services will be conducted this afternoon at the family residence by Rev. S. Tincher of the M.E. Church, and the interment will take place at the City cemetery.
