    "I just got back from Parke Co, and Montgomery Co. Some new info onthe Reynolds side, Mary Wright Reynold's was the daughter of James C.Wright and Caroline Hill Mullen. I went and found the info on James'death in Parke Co. I don't know if you need any of this, but I knowsince you have info on the Reynolds, you might want the Wrights.
    Death info:
    James Crawford Wright died 9-1905 in Parke Co. IN (my records hadshown that he died in March)
    birth: 12/22/1831 (I had him born in 1837 considering hisparents were married in 1836)
    father: Dennis Wright born in KY
    mother: L Crawford, born in IN
    wife: Caroline Mullen ( she died before he did)
    Cause of Death: Conclusion of the brain caused by a kick in the headby a horse hoof
    Buried: Waveland
    Not sure what it meant by Waveland. I checked all the Montgomery Corecords, and also visited a cemetery in Waveland and couldn't findhim. I suspect he doesn't have a grave.
    I also have an obit which I can scan and email to you. I also foundthat James' father, Dennis, owed 40 acres in Union Township, Parke Co.in 1832. And according to the obit, James had an Uncle James H.Wright who lived in the area and died a year before. I did find aJohn H Wright who died within the same year on the census's, not sureif it's the same person." [Transcribed 07 July 2008, SLJuhl,Compiler]

That morning he was trying to assist a horse, which hadfallen down in a little hollow and was lying on its back, to get upwhen the animal in its lunging struck him on the right side of thehead with one if its front feet.
