This obituary has an apparent inconsistency in surname of Elsie Wright's mother.
The obituary indicates that Elsie's mother was Belle Martindale. I confirmed with Bob
Jackson that this is the way the obit was originally written in "The Bloomfield
News". My data shows that Elsie's father, Albert Wright, married Belle Mansfield,
August 13, 1891 [WPA 1939 marriage index page 298, [Book N, Page 243]].
After Isabelle's death in 1893, Albert married second, Ada Long April 28, 1900 [WPA
1939 marriage index page 298 [Book P, Page 301]].
If anybody should have additional information to confirm either Mansfield or Martindale
for Elsie's mother's maiden name, please post a reply to this message or send me
an email direct.
Thanks,
Jerry
