Goodwin of Joplin, Mo., and Vol Wright of Downs, Kansas arrived in Alliance Saturday, bringing the remains of Mrs. Jesse Wright. The end of this life came for her at the home of the former at Willow Springs, MO last Tuesday, being due to pneumonia and old age. The men were much handicapped by the weather in getting here. Mr. Wright being unable to reach his mother's bedside, finding two systems of railroad snowbound and after several days he was only able to get to Denver and from there here. He had but arrived home from his recent visit here, when he received word of her illness, but the railroads to Kansas City and the east were out of commission. Rhoda Jane Wright was the widow of "Uncle" Jesse Wright, who settled in this section of the country sometime in the year 1885, and about three years ago was brought here for burial and laid in Evergreen cemetery at Carpenter Church, near the old home place. Her maiden name was McCoin and she was born the 4th day of May, 1833, in Wayne county, Kentucky, thus being nearly seventy-five years of age. She was married to Jesse Wright May, 1851 and they came from Council Bluffs, Iowa to what is now Box Butte County, with the earliest pioneers, settling in the Snake Creek valley, a few miles west of where Alliance now stands. Seven children survive the mother, while four have found the last sleep. There are three boys and four girls living, namely: Moses Wright of Alliance; George W. Wright of Clinton, OK; Vol Wright of Downs, KS; Mrs. Carl Weitz of Galt, Calif; Mrs. Holloway of Florida; Mrs. Skelton of Clinton, OK; Mrs. H.H. Goodwin of Willow Springs,MO. Most of these have resided here at some time in the past and are known to the oldtime people. The deceased had been a member of the Christian Church more than fifty years, and Mr. and Mrs. Wright were highly respected by those who knew them. About two years ago she wrote directions for her interment, and these same last wishes were again expressed on her deathbed. It was her request that the services be at the old place, she laid beside her life partner, that Rev. Joseph Westley (one of the old neighbors) conduct the service, reading the eighth chapter of Romans and that those good old songs, "Nearer My God to Thee," and "Jesus Lover of My Soul." be used at the funeral. All these instructions were faithfully carried out. Many old friends will join the Times in sympathy for the sorrowing and add their requim for her faithful rest." Rhoda Jane McKaughan Wright was born to George (Jr) and Rhoda Harder McKaughan in Wayne County, KY.(Some information spells her name as McCoin, McGaham or McGoine or McKaughen) Rhoda Jane and Jesse Wright came to Box Butte County with the earliest pioneers, settling in the Snake Creek Valley, a few miles west of Alliance. Rhoda was a member of the Christian Church for more than 50 years. Her last wishes were to be buried beside her life long partner and that Rev. Joseph Westley (one of the old neighbors) conduct the service reading the eighth chapter of Romans and that those good old songs, "Nearer My God to Thee", and "Jesus Lover of My Soul," be used at the funeral.
