FORMER RESIDENT DIES.
Mrs. Rebecca Traxler Wright Passes Away At Fairfield.

Yesterday afternoon at Fairfield, which has been her home for the past three years, occurred the death of Mrs. Rebecca Traxler Wright. She has been sick for about two weeks with typhoid fever. She was 64 years old and formerly lived at Trenton. She was the mother of Homer Traxler who formerly ran the south side restaurant.

The remains will be brought here for burial in Oak Grove cemetery beside her husband.

She was a former resident in this vicinity and will be well remembered by residents of the north part of the county where she was well known. She has relatives living there now, among them being Mr. Geo. Traxler and a son Isaac.

She is survived by a husband and five sons all of whom were with her in her last illness. The sons are Charles, a prominent lawyer and Omer, both of Minneapolis, the latter a traveling man but formerly in the restaurant business in this city; Frank of Indihoma, Oklahoma; Albert of Missouri and Isaac of north of town.

She is a sister of Mr. B. F. Yount of this city. Three step children also survive her. The remains will arrive tomorrow morning at 9:25 and will go directly to the Baptist church north of town known as the Linn Creek Oak Grove Church where funeral services will be held. Elder Flint of Eldon, Iowa will have charge assisted by Elder B. L. May.
