WILLIAM HERBERT WRIGHT

Little Fellow’s Sad Death

[Welland Tribune, 28 September 1915]

A bright young life passed away Sunday morning, in the death of Willie Wright, only son of Mrs. S. Wright, Division Street. The little fellow was stricken with diphtheria a few days ago, and put up a strong fight for life, but with the best of medical skill and tender nursing his little body could not withstand the shock, and he passed to the great beyond. Willie would have been six years old in January. He was an exceptionally bright lad of his years, and was a general favorite with all who knew him, both old and young.

Died: 25 September 1915
