Emily (maiden name Wenman or Werrman) married Michael. They had a son, John Brown Fanning who married Mattie Phelps from Weatland. Emily and John Brown are buried in the Luttenton Cemetary in what looks almost like a family plot of Cochrans. The records for that cemetary were burned in a fire, so Pulaski Twp. Offices can't help. John's brother Miles is buried in the Concord Cemetary. When he died, arrangements were dealt with by Lula Rice. I have Emily's Obituary from 1910.

I am hoping someone might be able to look for a death notice for Deodatus. Hoping to find names of siblings - as my goal is to prove he was brother to my great grandmother, Margery. Info previously posted: Namesake of Wright Cemetery, Wright country School, and Wright neighborhood. Wife Serena.

Deodatus' father Frederick and brother Frederick Jr. had settled land in Parma Township in 1836. Deodatus married Serena Fox on October 12, 1836 in New York. The couple came to Michigan in April, 1839 to the home of the Frederick Wright Sr. and Jr. on the Territorial Road, now known as Comdon Road in Parma Township, Jackson County. Deodatus and Serena had ten children. A biography of the Wright family (written in 1908)appears in the January 26, 1985 issue of the Journal of Albion, page 5.

Elvin’s Obituary: Dunn County News August 5, 1920 Elvin Morgan Elvin Morgan, a well known resident of this city, died at his home on Broadway Friday evening, June 30. He had been afflicted with heart trouble for some time and it was doubtless the immediate cause of his death, for the summons came suddenly a few minutes after he had retired for the night.

To this union were born four children-- Frank of Glen Flora; Oscar, who died in infancy; Mrs. Ibe Jents of Henderson, Minn., and Mrs. E. A. Drake of Eau Claire. A veteran of the Civil war Elvin Morgan had the rare distinction of serving in the same company and regiment with his father, James A. Morgan, who enlisted in Co. A, 10th Michigan cavalry, Aug. 29, 1863. In October, 1864, Elvin a lad of 17, enlisted in his father's company and both served until the regiment was mustered out in November, 1865. Both joined William Evans post, G. A. R. In 1889. James A. Morgan died Jan. 22, 1980. The funeral services were held in the M. E. church, Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock, Rev. W. I. Lowe, officiating. There was a large attendance of friends and neighbors, including his old comrades and members of the Woman's Relief corps.

Brieor, Frank Olson, George Shafer and R. J. Flint.
