Notes:

WRIGHT.--Betsey Loomis, wife of Ashahel W. Wright, died of dropsy, at her home in the Town of Canton, Pa., August 9, 1885, aged 72 years, 6 months and 3 days. The subject of this sketch was born in Canton, Pa., February 6, 1813 and resided in this township all her life except a few years which was spent in the State of New York. In 1841 on New Years Day she was united in marriage with Mr. A. W. Wright, by Rev. Mr. Kingsley. She was converted to God the next year under the labors of the clergyman who married them and immediately after joined the Methodist Episcopal Church at East Canton, of which she has been a consistent member ever since. Last February she sustained injuries, the result of a severe fall, which seemed to break her constitution and make way for the disease which caused her death. She won and held the profound respect of all who knew her by her quiet modesty, purity of character and other sterling Christian graces. She leaves two sons, six daughters and a companion to mourn their loss.
