Wright died April 2, 1997, in a local health care facility.
James Wright had been ill for some time and seemed to be growing weaker each day. This was true of his physical condition, but not his mental state.
From his bed, and with a clear mind, he gave me the story of his life. His education began in Durant, and he graduated from high school and later graduated from Southeastern State College with his bachelor of arts degree. From Durant he went to Stillwater and earned his master's degree.
James was in the first draft of 1940. He served in the 148th field artillery, the 45th Division. He was awarded the Legion of Merit for his outstanding and courageous service. The Italian government gave him the Military Cross of Valor. This medal could be compared to the United States Congressional Medal of Honor.
After his years of service with the United States Army in World War II, he went to Chicago and studied optometry at the Illinois College of Optometry. He practiced optometry in Oklahoma City for 11 years, and retired because of ill health.
Jim also taught school. He remembers most vividly having taught at Wright City, Dundee, Maud, and Burbank. With a twinkle in his eye, he said he taught from the Red River to the Kansas border. He coached the freshman football team one year at Oklahoma A&M. He was also an insurance adjuster for many years previous to his retirement. Jim was a Master Mason of Bethany Lodge 529. He was a lifetime member of the Masonic Lodge.
He leaves to mourn his passing a sister, many nieces and nephews and other relatives and friends.
