Obituary S. D. Wright
Death has again entered the ranks of Beulah Lodge, No. 432, Knights and Lades of Honor, of Saulsbury, and plucked one of our brightest jewels, Sister S. D. Wright, who passed away so peacefully on the morn of November 16th.
She was a sister of beautiful loveliness of character and superb womanly dignity. Her modesty and humility, the ease and quietude of her faith gave her the bearing of a Saint in the Lodge, in the Church and in the home. Her presence in the family was a benediction to those about her, and her words and works were a blessing to the community.
She was a true and devoted wife, a kind and self-sacrificing mother, charitable to the poor, thoughtful of her neighbors and responsive to every call of duty.
The Lodge has lost one of its truest, staunchest members and supporters, her husband a true and loving wife, her daughter one of the dearest of mothers, her neighbors a true friend.
We rejoice that we sorrow not as those that have no hope, for truly she was a ripe sheaf, fully ready for the Master’s garner. “Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord, for they do rest from their labors, and their works do follow them.”
As Brothers and Sisters we express our condolence to the bereaved family in the following resolutions:
Resolved, That the Lodge has sustained a great loss in the death of Sister Wright. Her helpful piety and saintly influence were a blessing to us, in doing our work.
Resolved, That we express to her daughter, Mrs. Julia Stanton, her husband and other relatives, our profoundest sympathy in this hour of their great sorrow.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of the Lodge and a copy be sent to the family of deceased.
Mrs. J. G. Low
