Wordless Wednesday : Wright Family circa 1946

Back row (L-R) : Virgil Wright, Edna Muriel (Pierce) Wright, William Wright, Bonnie (Lambertson) Wright, Clara (Wright) High, John M. High.  Front row : Barbara Wright, Terry Wright.

This undated family photo was taken at the Virgil Wright farm in Monroe Township, Madison County, Indiana, just north of Alexandria.  Estimated date is 1945-46, based on the age of Terry Wright.

This farmhouse was where I grew up and I recognize the driveway and the tree on the right side.  The fencing is gone, the tree across the road are gone as well.
