Rochelle,
You may want to try the Morrison-Reeves Library online newspaper database.
There are 759 Wright's listed. I know that the database goes back to the
1870's, so you may be able to find Ida May. I found a Mrs. Frank J. Wright
who died 19 Sep 1918. While that's probably not her, you may be able to
order other articles which may give you some clues. The URL is:

I am searching for my husband's grandmother, Ida Mae Jordan Wright.
I can't even get a good date of when she died but it is around 11 April
1904. She was born 16 Nov 1870 in Wabash Co, IN, married and lived there.
After she died her husband Franklin John Wright moved to Oklahoma and
remarried. For some reason she in not buried with the rest of the Wrights
in Serbia, IN but was moved to the Jordan family cemetery in Wayne Co.
The state can't locate a death certificate for her because I can't give the
state a good date of her death. If I can find her burial site it should
have the date and I can proceed from there.
Thank you so much for helping me w/this family mystery. Below is info on
where the Jordan family cemetery is. It is in Perry Township.
