Death of Margaret's Husband; Morwell Advertiser (Morwell, Vic. : 1888 - 1954) Friday 22 June 1923 DEATH OF MR G. H. WRIGHT Old residents of the district will a regret to learn of the death of Mr George Harvey Wright, which sad event occurred recently at his late residence, Spring Creek, Queensland. Deceased resided in this district for a number of years, and was held in high esteem by all., with whom he came in contact. He followed farming pursuits, but took an active interest in other affairs. He competed in several pedestrian and cycling events in the early days
and won numerous races. Referring to his death the "Allora Guardian" says: "We regret to record the death of Mr George Harvey Wright, who died at his residence, Spring Creek. at an early hour on Sunday morning last, after a slight illness of only five days. The immediate cause of death was a severe attack of pneumonia complicated with a chronic complaint of asthma, to which Mr Wright has been a subject for many years. Mr Wright had been a resident farmer of Spring Creek for about 16 years, and was widely esteemed for the uprightness of his character and his neighbourly qualities. He had always taken a keen interest in the Queensland Farmers' Union, and had been an enthusiastic member at the Spring
Creek Branch since its inception. In addition to being vice-president of that branch, he was treasurer to the South Downs District Council, and in his death the Queensland Farmers' Union loses an energetic and hard-working member. Besides his widow, he leaves two daughters to mourn their loss. Mr Wright is survived by his aged mother and two sisters, one being engaged in missionary work in China, and a married sister in Western Australia. A brother of the deceased is Mr W. J. Wright, who has recently taken up land at Talgai West. A sad incident is in the fact that the late Mrs W. Morrell whose sad death is still fresh in our readers' rememberance, was a sister of Mr Wright. The funeral which took place at the Allora Cemetery on Monday wasvery largely attended, and included mourners from all the surrounding districts. The Rev. G. Cameron Wood officiated at the grave side."
