    3. You know this man's brothers! "The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Monday, May 24, 1920 Reuchlin WRIGHT, 59 years old, died yesterday at his home, 3836 Euclid avenue, following a stroke of apoplexy. Mr. WRIGHT was first stricken last Monday morning but seemed to be on the road to recovery when he received a second stroke from which he failed to recover. He was a brother of Wilbur and Orville WRIGHT, the inventors of the first successful heavier-than-air flying machine. Wilbur WRIGHT died several years ago, following an attack of pneumonia. Mr. WRIGHT was born on a farm near what is now Fowlerton, Ind., and had lived in Kansas City fifteen years. Prior to five years ago, he was employed by the Kansas City, Fort Scott & Memphis railroad for about ten years. He afterward took up farming at Tonganoxie, Kas., and retired after two years of farm life. He moved to Lawrence, Kas., and then, after a two years' stay, returned to Kansas City. Mr. WRIGHT is survived by his wife, Mrs. Lulu WRIGHT, home address; two daughters, Mrs. Harold STEEPER, McLouth, Kas.; Mrs. George RUSSEL, Lawrence, Kas.; a son, Herbert WRIGHT, 4923 Agnes avenue; two brothers, Lorin and Orville WRIGHT, and a sister, Miss Katherine WRIGHT, all of Dayton, O. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================
