THE DEATH OF RECTOR'S WIFE Sudden Passing of Mrs. J. | de P. Wright, a Much Esteemed Lady. i A death which caused widespread | regret throughout, the city and dis- | trict, occurred at the General hos- pital at 5 o'clock on Thursday after- noon, when Mrs. Wright, wife of Rev. J. de Pencier Wright, rector of St. Luke's church, passed away after an illness of twenty-four hours. Diphtheria was the cause of death. Mrs. Wright was removed from her home, 311 Alfred street, to the | hospital oh Wednesday night. The | circumstances surrounding her death | ire extremely sad as her son, Joseph | Wright, aged nine years, is at the | present time in the General hospital uffering from diphtheria. The lat: | ter was taken ill on Monday, and re- moved to the hospital, and on Fri- day was reported to be doing nicely. Deceased was the youngest daugh- | ter of the late Robert Lockridge, | Tamworth, who was for many years prominent in financial circles. She was born In Tamworth forty-two vears ago, and was educated at Bishop Bethune college, Oshawa, and Bishop Strachan school, Toronto Her marriage to Rev. Mr. Wright took place seventeen years ago. Besides her husband, she is sur- | vived by three sons, William, and | John and Joseph (twins), one brother, Dr. Stuart Lockridge, den- tist, Tamworth, and two sisters, Mrs Radcliffe, wife of the Rev. Robert Radcliffe, rector of Deseronto, and Mrs. Postlewalte, wife of the rector of Aultsville. The late Mrs. Wright was actively engaged in all the women's organiza- tions of the church, and was a great help to the rector in his work. Pos- sessed of a lovable disposition, she | won the hearts of all the people, and the announcement of her death came as a great shock to her wide circle of friends. Mrs. Wright had the honor of being vice-president of the Wo- man's Auxillary for the Diocese of | Ontarfo. She gave of her time freely | and much of the success of the vari- ous organizations at St. Luke's is due Going Fast WHY SHOULDN'T THEY ?
