Hello,
I am seeking the grave of Ada Wright who died in Collin County on April 27, 1904. The death certificate says she died of smallpox. It also says she was 32 years old.
I am seeking my great-grandmother who this might be. Her maiden name had been Baker, but I have not been able to tie her to her Baker family. All I have on her that I am sure of is the marriage certificate from her marriage to John Henderson Wright on July 3, 1895. And she appears on the 1900 census which says at that time she is 22 years old. If she is the same Ada Wright who died in Collin county either the census records had her age wrong or the death record did.
Furthermore she lived and was married in Ft. Worth, in Tarrant County, my grandfather lived his entire life there. He remarried a Mary Deliah "Dee" Morris Gill, MOrris was apparently my step-great-grandmothers maiden name. Census records and a letter written by my great aunt Muriel Wright Meek indicates they married in late 1904 or early 1905.
I am hoping to find a grave marker that would tell me if the Ada Wright who died of the smallpox in Collin county was in fact my great-grandmother. It occurred to me that she may have been sent to some place that confined people with infectious disease such as smallpox and that was why she did not die in Tarrant county.
Does anyone on this list know anything about a smallpox epidemic around 1904 that brought people with it to Collin County and so on...???
