Mr. Goehring was born in Westmoreland county and came to Pittsburgh when a boy. He and his brother, Charles L.

The deceased was twice married. His first wife was Miss Melissa Denniston, a member of a family well-known as large property owners in this city, part of their real estate being that upon which the Baltimore & Ohio station now stands. He is survived by his second wife and six children, Dr. Charles L. Goehring, inventor of a geometrical wood carving machine; Harry L. Goehring, assistant district attorney; Mrs. Budd Marchand, Miss Melissa Goehring, Jacob Goehring, Jr., and Edward B. Goehring, now studing [sic] law in Pittsburgh.

MRS. SARAH L. WRIGHT.
Mrs. Sarah L. Wright, wife of Homer Wright of Collins & Wright, Pittsburgh Britannia Manufacturing Company, died yesterday evening of comsumption [sic] at her home, No. 5 Cliff street, aged about 47 years. Mrs. Wright was born in McKeesport, but had lived in Pittsburgh nearly all her life. She was well known throughout the city and was endeared to all with whom she was associated. As a consistent member of the Second Presbyterian church she was active in all the work of that church. She took a special interest in the missionary and benevolent enterprises not only of the church but in those of a more general character. For many years she was a member of the board of managers of the Protestant home for boys of Allegheny and was an interested supporter of the Old Ladies' home at Wilkinsburg. A large circle of friends and co-workers will sincerely mourn her loss. A husband and four children survive her. The children are Dr. Homer Wright, professor of bacteriology in Harvard college; Edwin S., in business with his father; W. H., the well-known printer, and Miss Mary R. Funeral services will be held at 8 p. m. tomorrow at the family residence and the interment will be private on Wednesday.
