Thomas WRIGHT, who has frequently visited friends and relatives here and at Grafton, a youth of sixteen years, succumbed to consumption on Tuesday evening last at the family home in Wauwatosa. The chief traits of his character were force and determination; and it was those traits that kept him from yielding to the insidious attacks of the disease for at least three years. He has faithfully, manfully, determinedly brought every resource of his own, and all of the help of relatives and friends to bear him up against the disease to the very last; but once started, its will would win in the struggle. So with brave, forcible and manly Tom. He never would admit that he was an invalid; always calculated upon a successful termination of but temporary sickness. Always calculating the prospects of his future, with the welfare and future of others. Day by day he would revive, but gradually become weaker, at no time appearing to feel that he was not to survive and engage in future enterprises; nor would he allow others to speak to the contrary; until last Tuesday evening, while two lady friends were attending him in his weakened condition, Tom said to them: "Call the children" (meaning his brothers and sisters) and before they could be summoned, said to his attendants, "Good bye" (as if the same was intended for the family and friends) and he was gone; gone to them forever.
