The Washington County GenWeb site isn't co-operating with me, so I'm hoping that someone on this list may have some informtion that might help me out. Here's what I know and what I'd like to know.

In 1871, John A. Wright married Emma B. North in Henry County, Iowa.

An ca. 1888 biographical sketch of Emma's brother, John T. North, states that Emma died in 1875, Powhattan, Ohio.

The "Belmont Chronicle" (Powhattan is in Belmont Co.) of 25 December 1873 reports that Mrs. Emma B., wife of Rev. John A. Wright, died on the morning of 1 December 1873, and that internment was in Washington, Pennsylvania.

Beers & Co's 1893 Biographical record of Washington County, identifies a Rev. John A. Wright as the son of Joshua Wright, of Washington County.

An article from the "Washington Observer" (posted on this mailing list)
reports the death of a daughter of Rev. Wright in 1894. Although it is not explicitly stated, it is inferred that the funeral and burial will be in Washington County.

What I would like to know is if anyone on the list (there seem to be a good many Wright-connected postings over the years) knows anything about the cemetery that Emma B. Wright would be buried in and/or the information from her gravestone.

I would be greatly appreciative of any information about this family, or any leads that would send me in the right direction.

Thank you for reading my post.
