WRIGHT, MRS. MINERVA F. - In Troy, on the 6th inst., Mrs. Minerva F., wife of Calvin D. Wright, Esq., aged 24 years 8 months and 5 days. Thus has gone from our society, a loving wife, an affectionate daughter, and a kind and steadfast friend. Possessed of a kind husband, a cheerful home, and surrounded by numerous friends, it was hoped that a long, useful, and happy life was before her. But, alas! in one short week how great the change. The sun of earthly existence gone down forever! She left the beautiful evidence of a happy future in the practice of Christian virtues in life. Had she imperfections they were only proof of her humanity. That she had many sterling virtues all who knew her well can testify. Indeed, to esteem and love her, was but to know her. A very large congregation attended her funeral.
