Ellen (King) Wright (1868-1913) was my maternal 2nd-great grandmother. What follows is an exploratory analyis of the biographical data I have collected about her.

Ellen was born August 24, 1868 in Frankton, Madison County, Indiana1.
The State of Indiana did not require birth certificates prior to 1907.
1.1.1. Birth Notice in Newspaper
I have not been able to locate any contemporary accounts of Ellen's birth.
1.1.2. Bible Record
I am not aware of surviving Bible record of the King family. I will continue to reach out to collateral relatives hoping to locate one.
1.1.3. Baptismal Record
I am not aware of any baptismal record for Ellen at this time, nor am I aware of the King family's church affiliation.
1.1.4. Adoption Record
There is no indication that Ellen was adopted.
1.2. Marriage license
Ellen married on May 13, 1888 in Madison County, Indiana to John William Wright1,2. I've realized that I do not have a copy of their marriage license from Madison County. Will add this to my "to-do" list for my next research trip.
1.2.1. Marriage notice in newspaper
Will need to search out contemporary newspapers to see if their nuptials were mentioned.
1.2.2. Anniversary notice
John and Ellen's 25th wedding anniversary would have been May 13, 1913. Need to search the local newspapers to see if mention was made.
1.2.3. Divorce decree
There is no evidence that John and Ellen were ever divorced.
1.3. Death Certificate
Ellen died on December 24, 1913 in Monroe Township, Madison County, Indiana3. The cause of death was listed as mitral regurgitation.
1.3.1. Obituary in newspaper
Ellen's obituary appeared in the December 26, 1913 edition of the Alexandria Times-Tribune4.
I need to search other local newspapers to see if mention was made of her death.

I need to check with the local historical society to see if there are any funeral home records that mention her. The obituary did not state which funeral home handled the arrangements.
1.3.3. Tombstone photograph
Ellen's tombstone in the I.O.O.F. cemetery has been photographed. The tombstone lists her as "Ellen Wright 1868-1913".
2. Census Records

On May 5, 1910, Ellen was enumerated in the John W. Wright household in Monroe Township, Madison County, Indiana5 as Ellen Wright, wife, age 41, born in Indiana.

Exploratory Data Analysis: John William Wright (1860-1945)
John William Wright (1860-1945) was my maternal 2nd-great grandfather. What follows is an exploratory analysis of the information I have collected about him.
1. Vital Records
1.1. Birth Certificate
John was born February 21, 1860 in Brown County, Ohio1.
The State of Ohio did not require birth certificates until 1867.
1.1.1. Birth Notice in Newspaper
I have not been able to locate any contemporary newspaper accounts of John's birth.
1.1.2. Bible Record
I am not aware of any surviving Bible record of the Wright family. My understanding of family lore was that the John Wright family Bible was purposely destroyed by a daughter-in-law.
1.1.3. Baptismal Record
I am not aware of any baptismal records for John at this time. The Wright's were associated with of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Alexandria, but I do not know of their church affiliation in Brown County, Ohio.
1.1.4. Adoption Record
There is no indication that John was adopted.
1.2. Marriage license
John married on May 13, 1888 in Madison County, Indiana to Ellen King1,2. I didn't realize that I don't have a copy of their marriage license from Madison County. Will add that to my list of "to-do" items for my next research trip.
John married on May 13, 1922 in Madison County, Indiana to Margaret (Lewis) Willetts. This marriage was the subject of a previous post. Need to work through my notes and source this information in my database.
1.2.1. Marriage notice in newspaper
Will need to search out contemporary newspapers to see if their nuptials were mentioned.
1.2.2. Anniversary notice
John and Ellen's 25th wedding anniversary would have been May 13, 1913. Need to search the local newspapers to see mention was made.
1.2.3. Divorce decree
