WRIGHT, Maurice - {Edited} Tribute of Respect for Maurice Wright who departed this life at 11 a.m. on the 20th day of Jan. 1871. Brother Wright, in the course of a long life spent in this community, was a worthy Mason, an intelligent business man, a kind friend, a fond parent, a genial companion, a good citizen, an eminent and faithful christian. For several years past, and up to the time of his death, he exhibited such an uncomplaining spirit, so much patience under severe bodily affliction, and such complete resignation to the will of Him in whose hands are the destinies of men, that we may confidently say, "our loss is his eternal gain." Signed, W.B. Welch, F.R. Earle, R.D. Hays, Committee. Little Rock Gazette please copy.
He was a merchant, and a farmer, member of the Masonic Lodge and the Methodist Episcopal Church South. He married Ruth Coulter, d/o James Coulter, in 1834.
