Mrs. Nancy WRIGHT died near Witt Springs, Ark. a few days ago, at the age of ninety years. She was born in North Carolina during the period of the Indian troubles, and learned to handle the rifle with great dexterity.  She chopped down trees, cleared fields, made rails, plowed, and did other out-door work.  At the age of seventeen she married a Baptist preacher and removed to Tennessee.  They had thirteen children.
