DIED SUDDENLY

Death came suddenly to Thomas Wright, one of Glen Lyon's best known and most highly respected residents yesterday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock, while in the discharge of his duties. Mr. Wright and his son Alfred, employed in the capacity of engineers in the same room where the engines used in hoisting cars at No. 6 tunnel are located, were busily engaged when the former was stricken. The son was at the throttle of one of the engines when his father fell while walking across the floor, and as soon as his trip of cars had been safely landed hurried to his father's side, but death had been instantaneous and all efforts toward restoration were futile. Desceased was born in Shropshire, England, 52 years ago and for past twenty years had resided in Glen Lyon. He was a member of th M. E. Church, Victory Commandery, 243 Knights of Malta, and the Glen Lyon Knights of Maccabees. He is survived by his wife, seven children, Mrs. Alfred Wynn of Connecticut, Thomas and John of Nanticoke, Alfred, Margaret, Bertha and Edith of Glen Lyon. The funeral will take place on Tuesday afternoon, with services in the Glen Lyon M. E. Church at 2 o'clock. Interment will be at Nanticoke Cemetery.
