MIKE, 10, LOSES GALLANT BATTLE
Michael Wright, 10-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Rexford Wright of
Mosherville, took to a Philadelphia hospital last week the hopes and prayers of
scores of people who knew him and hundreds who did not. But all those prayers
and a heart warming response to an appeal for blood for the delicate open heart
operation were not enough. Mike died Saturday without recovering from surgery.
The story of how local donors and a group of 40 students from Mansfield State
College answered the blood appeal and sent the number of pints of blood well
over the quota was printed in last Sunday’s Telegram. Sponsored by Troy Grange,
the blood bank had a quota of 125 pints. This included a minimum of 40 required
for the operation. It ended in a tally of 162 pints from local donors and the 40
members of Greek House at MSC. Specialists diagnosed Mike’s condition as a
congenital heart defect up until then thought to be confined to adults. The
fifth-grade student at Wells Township Elementary School of Mosherville was
allowed to join in not too strenuous athletics. Through the efforts of surgeons
who explained the operative procedures, coupled with the outwardly calm approach
of his parents, Mike had adjusted wonderfully well to the situation, accepting
it quietly. Mike and his parents left for Philadelphia’s University Hospital
Monday where the open-heart surgery was performed three days later. The
operation required six surgeons in attendance. Two days after the operation,
Mike died of undisclosed complications.

TOM BURLEIGH MEMORIAL SOFTBALL PARK UNDERWAY
Organizational plans for the development of the Tom Burleigh Memorial
Softball Park are progressing rapidly. Since the Mansfield Area Softball
League’s dream to build a softball field on Mansfield’s former landfill site
initiated, Tom Burleigh was killed in a tragic accident. Burleigh, formerly of
Troy, was one of the founding fathers of the Mansfield Area Softball League. The
League states the project has taken on a whole new meaning since Tom’s death in
January and will now be constructed in his memory. Plans for the park include
softball field with backstop, chain link fence, team benches, bleachers, and
hopefully, lights. Costs for the project could exceed $25,000.
A memorial fund has been set up at First Citizens National Bank, and monies
donated to the fund will go directly to this purpose. Many individuals have made
cash contributions totaling nearly $1,000. Appreciation is expressed by the
league to those people. In addition, insurance monies have been donated by Tom’s
family for the softball memorial park.
The league also is in need of contributions in kind. The in kind
contributions can include top soil, use of equipment (grader, etc.) as they will
all be needed to reach the goal of the park. Donations and letters of
commitments of in kind contributions (top soil, grass seed, equipment, etc.) can

needed to be talked out.

new softball complex on the old landfill sight. This will be fitting memorial to
Tom for the years of participation and work in the Mansfield Softball League. In

DINNER TO BENEFIT FAMILY OF BOY KILLED IN ACCIDENT
Millport folks will be eating again today and this time they’re really
putting their hearts into it.
This occasion will benefit the family of a blond-haired, blue-eyed
seven-year-old whose life was snuffed out April 25.
Stephen Eddy, son of the Rev. and Mrs. Harold Eddy St., was running across
Rt. 14 to meet his father when he was struck by a car.
His father, pastor of the Millport Baptist Church, had sent his daughter,
Michelle, 12, to fetch Stephen from home to the Post Office located on the other
side of Rt. 14.
The Eddys also have three other children; Harold, Jr. 16; Connie, 15: and
Nicole 6.
Mr. Eddy is chaplain of the Millport Fire Department. Like most volunteer
outfits, the fire department is a close-knit group. The Millport Fire Department
Auxiliary, composed of firemen’s wives, decided that a fund-raising event should
be held to help the Eddy family.
“We can’t return that beautiful young boy to his family,” said Mrs. Lucille
Malin, auxiliary president. “But we’re going to do what we can to help them out.
We want them to know that we love them.”
The event is a smorgasbord dinner to be held at the fire hall today
beginning at 5 p.m. and continuing until all the food is gone. Mrs. Phyllis
Freeman and Mrs. Nancy Robbins are co-chairing the dinner.
Food is coming from nearly every household in the village, said Mrs. Malin.
There will be chicken and biscuits, Swedish meatballs, a flood of hot vegetables
and just about every kind of salad imaginable.
The auxiliary knows how to go about such evens because they’re the sponsors
of the department’s annual Fishermen’s Breakfast held on the opening day of
trout season. This year’s even netted $1,200, which will help buy fire
equipment.
Mrs. Malin said the Eddys have gained the respect of Millport residents
since the family came here last August.
Mr. Eddy seems to have a special rapport with the young people, Mrs.
Malin said.
Stephen is remembered in various ways. Mrs. Malin remembers him as a happy
smiling lad. His mother remembers his vibrant attitude and refers to him as “our
child of impulse”.
His father remembers Stephen as the total boy, through and through, who
loved to fish and who was always there to lend a hand on household projects.
His sister, Nicole, remembers Stephen for his beauty. “I still have in my
heart Stephen’s blond hair and blue eyes,” she said. Understandably, the
family’s grief is deep but eased somewhat by one comforting thought.
“He is at peace and I know where he is,” said Mr. Eddy.
