Charles L Wright

Charles L Wright was the son of Thomas L Wright & Phoebe Rogers out of Beekman, NY.  He was married twice.

His first marriage in 1894 was to a girl named Ella Diwgans, the daughter of Bennett R Dwigans & Joanna Dwigans.  While I was able to find the marriage entry, she disappears after that and may have died before Jun 1898 as she's not mentioned in her father's will.

Charles remarried in 1899 to Alfaretta Blazier, the daughter of John G Blazier & Caroline E Pruden and they had one daughter, Carolyn Phoebe Wright.

There is a girl named Golda F Wright, born 1895 in Indiana who is listed as adopted and I have wondered if Ella may have died in child birth and Golda may have been her daughter?  I can't confirm either way but Charles was living with Golda when he died.
