Death of L A Wright of Watertown
Word reached Marshfield of L A Wright's severe illness in Watertown. A paralytic stroke left him unconscious, and he died Thursday night. Once a Marshfield merchant, he founded a bakery later run by his wife and son Emron. An estrangement had kept him away, with his last Marshfield visit tied to his son Iva’s influenza death at Camp Grant last winter.
