Kinard, J. W.” Wbod and Seth A. Meek. He is survived by two sisters, Mrs. W. G. Houseal and Mrs. C. H. Cannon; one brother, R. Herman Wright all of New berry, and a number of nieces and nephews. Mr. WHght was the son of the late Robert H. and Mary F. Bowers WHght, the Wrights, all of Scotch-Irish extraction, and was born and reared in New berry where he attended school, and Newberry College, graduat ing from the Lutheran institu tion in 1888. STARTED AS MERCHANT Soon after graduating he en gaged in the merchantile busi ness as Wright’s Book and Stationery Store. Later he be came cashier of the Commer cial Bank which position he held for nine years. In 1905 he accepted the presidency of the Newberry Cotton Mills, which position he held until sale of the mill a few years ago. Since that time Mr. Wright, who did not like the word “re tired,” maintained an uptown office in order to keep in touch with the various civic and com munity orgainzations in which he served during his long busi ness career and for general pleasure. Until illness overcame him he continued his routine of arriving at his office at 9 o’clock and leaving at 5 o’clock. He was a bachelor but his brother and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Herman Wright, lived with him. Mr. Wright was regarded as a fine speaker and was called on at numerous meetings for talks and was in much demand as an after dinner speaker. His oratorical ability was first no ted when he won a medal in an oratorical contest at New berry College. In recognition of his ability as an outstanding citizen and worthy of the title Newberry College bestowed upon him the title L.L.D. for distinguished service. HELPED EDUCATE BOYS Through his influence and ability many young men were able to obtain an education. At Newberry College is Weight’s Hall, a recreation center named 60 Years on Job With Southern in honor of Mr. Wright. Mr. Wright served as mayor of Newberry for nine years, hav ing held the office until he de cided not to accept another term. He was a member of the Central Methodist Church, serv ing as an officer for many years. He was chairman of Newberry County Hospital many years. During the big Sesqui-Cen- tennial celebration in Newberry j Mr. Wright served as honorary 1 chairman of the event and had a large part in its success. He was elected the first president of the Newberry Ro tary Club and served contin- ously as a leader in that or ganization. In 1924 he was elec ted district governor for South and North Carolina District of Rotary International. His outstanding work for the Newberry Country Club is best shown on a bronze tablet ,erec ted by the members of the Club which reads as follows: “This tablet will forever serve to ex press the gratitude of the Coun try Club of Newberry for the generous gifts of Zaccheus F. Wright whose sympathetic lead ership has assured for existance its availability to the people of this community.” During the 41 years Mr. WHght served as president of the the mill, 1905 to 1946, he worked hard to make his em ployes happy. He knew every one of his 700 employes by name and was responsible for building Willowbrook Park, lo cated' in the mill village. He was largely responsible in or ganizing the Newberry Concert Band, composed of members of his mill, who achieved national recognition in playing before high ranking officials and at special occasions. PRESENTED LOVING CUP In 1935 as an expession of their personal regard the 700 employes of his mill got to gether and presented him with a loving cup on the occasion of his 30th anniversary as presi dent of the mill. It was their way of paying tribute to a man who had been their friend. Every contributor’s name was inscribed on the cup and in cluded every employe from the veterans to the newest appren tice. While on the streets Mr. Wright enjoyed greeting and conversing with his trends. His main hobby was flowers in which red roses were his favor ites. He was a member of the rose society for 25 years. He had roses blooming in his gar den practically throughout the year. He was generous with his flowers and on many occa sions flowers which graced the various churches were from his garden. A large oil'painting of him self hangs on the wall in his office. It was painted by a dof- fer in his mill several years ago. A long and faithful service with the Southern Railway System will end on November 1, for Mr. J. P. Sheely, freight agent at Newberry for the Southern Railway. (Mr. Sheely was born and reared in Newberry County be tween Pomaria and Little Mountain. In 1889, when he was 21 years old, he began his work with Southern as tele graph operator on a work train, used in those days to keep the tracks and railroad beds in repair. He was later assigned as agent at Peak; from there was night operator at Alston, and continued his service with the Company as agent at Pomaria. Mr. Sheely was transferred to Newberry in August 1900 as ticket seller and telegraph op erator, and in February 1904 was made freight agent here. He has continued in this ca pacity since that time. Forty nine of Mr. Sheely’s 60 years with Southern have been in the same building on Main Street, which was con structed in 1861. His entire sixty years were spent within a 21 mile radius. Mr. Sheely was a guest, of honor at the Chamber of Com merce banquet in Newberry on April 2, 1948, and was highly commended by the guest speak er, E. R. Oliver, a vice presi dent in charge of traffic of the Southern Railway System, of Washington, D. C. Mr. Sheely states that his en tire interest and the only hobby he has had has been the rail road, and his life has been de voted to that interest. Since the death of his wife in January of this year, Mr. Sheely has made his home with / his nephew, Lonnie A. Sheely, on Main Street.
