MRS. A.M. VINSON DIED SATURDAY EVE
Six Months Illness from Complications of Diseases Results in Death.
Just as the shades of night were beginning to fall Saturday evening, Mrs. Anna L. Vinson, age 50 year, a well known and respected resident of Alexandria, passed to her reward after a lingering illness from a complication of diseases that had kept her confined to her bed for the past six months. For several days in the past week the Vinson home at 702 South Harrison street had been visited by relatives constantly as the death of Mrs. Vinson was expected at almost any moment. The funeral service will be conducted from the First Christian church Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, and burial will take place in the Odd Fellow cemetery. Rev. George Winfrey will have charge of the service and the Rev. Wm. G. Smith, of Edinburgh, a former pastor of the Christian church here, and Rev. Whitecotton, of Anderson, will assist.
Mrs. Anna Vinson was born in the State of Ohio and at an early age moved to Madison county. She was married to A.M. Vinson, an Alexandria implement and automobile dealer. Mr. and Mrs. Vinson resided on a farm three miles north of Alexandria for a number of years, finally moving to this city where Mr. Vinson engaged in business. After her removal to this city Mrs. Vinson became active in church and social circles.
Besides the husband Mrs. Vinson is survived by her father, Joseph Wright, south of the city, and one sister, Mrs. Thomas Fox, of Pendleton, and five brothers, James, Edward, John, Charles White [sic] of this city, and Jesse Wright, of Anderson.

Obituary : Dorothy Wright (1837-1926)
Thanks to the Anderson, Indiana Public Library, I was able to obtain the obituaries of Dorothy (Palmer) Wright, the second wife of my maternal 3rd-great grandfather. The 1900 census stated that she was born June 1837 in Pennsylvania, the 1910 census stated she was born in Ohio, yet these obituaries give even more clues to check out. One interesting note is that her sisters were living in Brown County, Ohio, which is where her husband, Joseph Wright, was from. Perhaps they knew each other previously or he went back to Brown County to find a wife after the death of his first wife, Rebecca Heaton.

Albert Moulton - El Dorado Co., CA
Albert MOULTON appears in the 1850 census of Placerville, El Dorado Co., CA as a gold miner. I believe that this is my 3rd-great grandfather. Albert was the son of Selah and Lydia (FENNEL) MOULTON.
Albert was listed as born in Vermont, aged 31, working as a miner bringing in $2.00 per day in labor. He was living with another miner, Henry Belknap of New York.
My 2nd-great grandmother, Clara (Moulton) Metzner's father was stated to have gone to California during the gold rush. Whether or not he divorced his wife is not known. This is the only record of Albert that I've been able to find that matches.

His birthplace is listed as Indiana in 1860 and Ohio in 1870. His birthplace is given on his son David's 1900 census record as Maryland and in 1910 as North Carolina.

Thomas A. Fox Family - Madison Co., IN
Today I sourced the census records I found for the Thomas A. Fox family of Madison Co., IN. Thomas was married to my 2nd great-aunt, Daisy L. Wright. I discovered a few interesting facts that I didn't know previously by looking at the census records in 1900 & 1910 in Van Buren & Pipe Creek Twps., respectively, of Madison Co., IN.
First off, Thomas' name was not Thompson, as I originally had in my notes. In the 1900 census, he states both of his parents were born in North Carolina - in 1910, his father is born in Indiana and his mother was from North Carolina. Also, one daughter appears as Helen L. in the 1900 census and then as Laura H. in the 1910 census.
I do not have a record yet of the family in the 1920 census. By 1930, Daisy is a widow, so Thomas must have died between 1910-1930, probably in Madison Co., IN.
