Simeon R. Wright Dead
The
subject of this sketch Simeon R. Wright was born in Licking county, Ohio, February 16, 1833, and died at
Bedford, Iowa, May 4, 1907, from a complication of diseases and after a
protracted illness.
On
October 20, 1853, he was married to M. [artha] Ellen Lindsay, and to this union ten children were born, only
two of whom survive him, a son, Frank and a daughter, Mrs. Mary E. [lizabeth] Roberts. His wife died July 21, 1899.
On
May 30, 1900 he was again married to Emily Thrall and he and his wife moved in 1902 to Springfield,
Mo. While living there on August 30, 1905, his wife died. Mr. Wright was in very poor health at the time and has never
since enjoyed good health. About eleven months ago his son Frank brought him back to Bedford where he could spend
the remainder of his days amid relatives and friends and receive their kind
care and attention. He gradually grew worse until the final end arrived.
Mr.
Wright was not a member of any
church but his purse was always open for the advancement of any good and
charitable purpose.
Of
a family of ten children he was the first to cause a break in the circle, his
nine brothers and sisters together with son and daughter remaining to mourn the
loss of a fond father and a kind brother.
The funeral services were
conducted by Rev. W. B. Thompson at the home of his son, Frank, Monday morning, May 6, at 9 o'clock and the body
was interred in the Conway cemetery. A large number of friends were in
attendance at both services.

An Old Settler Gone
Simeon
R. Wright was born in Licking
County, Ohio, February 16, 1833, and died at the home of his son, Frank
Wright, in Bedford, Saturday, May
4, 1907. He was married to M.
[artha] Ellen Lindsey, October
20, 1853. To this union there were
born ten children, two of whom only survive him. They are Frank Wright and Mrs. Mary E. [lizabeth] Roberts, both of Bedford. His wife, M.[artha] Ellen Wright, died July 21, 1899. On the 30th of May 1900, he married Emily
Thrall, and in 1902 moved to
Springfield, Mo. His second wife
died August 30, 1905, Mr. Wright being himself in very poor health at the time. Less than a year ago he accompanied his son, Frank, to Bedford, where he has been the recipient of
the faithful, loving care of his children. He gradually, yet steadily declined in spite of all that
could be done. Mr. Wright was not a member of any church but was always
ready to contribute to any charitable cause.
He
was one of the early pioneers, coming to Taylor County in 1857. At that time this was really the frontier,
there being less than 200 voters in the county. Mr. Wright located on sections one and two in Clayton township, adding to his possessions
gradually; at one time he owned over a thousand acres of land. After leaving the farm he moved to
Conway where he resided until five years ago when he moved south.
Out of a family of ten
children, though not the eldest, he was the first to leave his parental home
and the first to pass into the great beyond. The brothers and sisters of the deceased are as follows: John P., Bedford; William, Johnstown, O.; Mrs. Amanda White, California; Mrs. Nancy Willison, Johnstown, O.; Mrs. Jane [Elizabeth] Denser, Bedford; Milton, Johnstown, O.; Mrs. Ellen Werdon, Columbus, O.; and Mrs. Elnora Werdon, Columbus, O. John P. and Mrs. Denser were the only two
present at the funeral.

Mrs. Mary Roberts
Mary
E. [lizabeth] Wright, eldest
child of Simeon and [Martha] Ellen Wright, was born June 16, 1855, in Knoxville, Ill. When but a child of two
years, she came with her parents where a farm was homesteaded about two and a
half miles southeast of Conway. On this farm she learned something of the
rigors of pioneer days and here she grew to young womanhood. She was the eldest
of ten children, of which eight preceded her in death. On October 26, 1871, she
was united in marriage to W. [illiam] M. [arlin] Roberts, and the young couple went to housekeeping on a
farm adjoining the parental home. The greater part of her active life was lived
in that vicinity. Five children blessed their home, two daughters dying in
infancy. In the year 1901, Mr. and Mrs. Roberts moved to Bedford with their family, where Mr.
Roberts died in the year 1913.
Since then Mrs. Roberts has
lived in her own home here. For a number of years she has suffered, from ill
health and has been greatly inconvenienced in the fact that she could not get
about easily. On May 28, while about her home duties she fell and sustained a
fractured hip. For two weeks she suffered intensely, but was released from her
suffering and passed into life eternal on the morning of June 11, 1931. For a
long time she has seemed to look forward to the time when death would release
her and has often talked of it to her relatives and friends She wanted to go
and had made many plans. The songs and Scripture lesson for her funeral service
were selected and so far as known her wishes have been carried out. She leaves
one brother, Frank Wright of
Bedford; two sons, Ira [Alva] Roberts of near Conway, and Herman [Porter] Roberts of Rapid City, So. Dak.; and an only daughter, Grace
Roberts Salen of Bedford. She had
ten grandchildren and six great grandchildren, who with other relatives and
many friends are left to mourn her going. Mrs. Roberts was a member of the Methodist church, having made
her decision for Christ and joined the church when she was twenty years of age
Since that time she has consistently lived the Christian life and not a small
part of the fruitage of that life has been the making and keeping of a host of
friends—friends who enjoyed frequent visits to her home. When these
friends knew of her injury many of them came to see her until she was no longer
able to see them. These friends and acquaintances will hold her name in loving
memory through the years.
Funeral services were
held on Sunday afternoon, June 14, at the Wetmore Funeral Home, conducted by
Rev M. R. Talley, pastor of the Methodist Church, and the body laid to rest
beside that of her husband in the Conway Cemetery.
