In Reply to: Lavina A. Platt married John Lewis Wright by Kitty Carleton of 51874

based on 1900 MO, Linn Co, Jackson township census....indexed incorrectly as WRIGH.....only two sons are listed in household with mother bn in IND. Another clue that Addie might have died in Linn Co, Jackson township, MO...not Jackson County, MO (see below cemetery records)

1900 MO, Linn Co, Jackson Twnship
Wright, John L 43 bn MO md 2yrs
, Carrie E. 23 bn MO, md 2yrs
, Harry F. bn Dec 1888 bn MO/MO/IND
, Buel H. bn Sept 1893 bn MO/MO/IND


Missouri Marriage Records, 1805-2002
Incorrectly indexed as: J S Wright
Name:        J L Wright
Marriage Date:        22 Dec 1897
Marriage Location:        Linn, Missouri
Marriage County:        Linn
Spouse Name:        Carrie E Smith
** John's middle initial is written the same as the L in Linn County. So looks to be J. L. Wright.

Harry & Buel contine to live together even tho Harry marries. It appears from census records that Buel never married.

Buel & Harry Wright (with his family) move to Montana and both file their WW1 Draft Registrations there.

Idaho Death Index, 1911-51

County of Death:        Ada
City:        MERIDIAN
Date of Death:        10/04/1939
Date of Birth:        12/16/1888
**although the middle name is Francis here...notice the date of birth is a match.

Based on Harry F. Wright's wife being listed as Edith and born in MO......and Harry's 1900 census location...this is probably their marriage record:

Missouri Marriage Records, 1805-2002
Name:        Harry F Wright
Marriage Date:        20 Nov 1907
Marriage Location:        Linn, Missouri
Marriage County:        Linn
Spouse Name:        Edith Kennedy
**both are under 21yrs of age and had to have consent to marry. Both are of Linn County, Missouri.
J.L. Kirby (guardian of Harry Wright) gives his written consent.
Mrs. Kate Utley (mother of Edith Kennedy) gives her consent.

And this wonderful find:

Linn County, Missouri, Cemetery Records, Vol. 2 & 8
Name: John L. Wright
Death Date: 14 Jan 1906
Age: 49 yrs., 6 mos., 17 das.
Cemetery: Purdin
Description: Located northwest of Purdin, Missouri

Name: Lavena A. Wright
Death Date: 25 Jan 1895
Age: 33 yrs., 8 mos., 18 das.
wife of J. L.
Cemetery: Purdin
Description: Located northwest of Purdin, Missouri

John L Wright's widow, Carrie E. Wright, marries a 2nd time in 1907...Linn Co, MO

Ordering a copy of these death/marriage records should help document their connection

Hope something here is of help,
Marsha
