    1. [TNOVERTO] WRIGHT, BERTRAM, again!
    2. Anna L Bertram

    3. Gary, As usual you are a big help! Thank you! Milly Piros also responded with some old newspaper URLs. The Senator was Elza E. BERTRAM (1868 - 1953), son of Rev. Alvin BERTRAM and Rosannah B. YOUNG. He was married to Maggie BALLENGER. My husband was his 1st cousin, twice removed, according to Family Tree Maker. You know I research all the BERTRAMS, BUTRAMS, etc., regardless of which branch. Still looking for the identity of the Mr. WRIGHT from Overton Co., TN who was visiting Senator Elza E. BERTRAM in Clinton Co., KY in 1933.

    3. I just haven't found the connection in the Livingston newspapers. There were Wrights living around McDonald's Chapel and Wirmingham. I think the Bertrams lived behind McDonald's Chapel Church many years ago. That might be the connection. I think the Wrights in the area were cartwrights. Gary D.

    3. Anna, The Wrights to whom I referred were cartwrights by profession. I don't know that they ever changed their names. It was their profession in the Wirmingham and McDonald's Chapel area of Overton County. That old cemetery which I mentioned was southeast of McDonald's Chapel a short distance. There were Worleys buried there also. I don't know if I ever found a single stone which was inscribed. The site was a hog pen the last time I checked it about 25 years ago. Gary D.

    1. Re: [TNOVERTO] WRIGHT, BERTRAM, again!
    2. Gary Norris

    3. The McDonald's own all the land around the church. There are been three different churches there. I went with my grandparents to the first old white weatherboard house. It was eventually torn down for a new brick house. The new house was destroyed in a tornado back in 1974 as I recall. It has since been rebuilt. The congregation split I think and it is as small as it was 30 years ago. I would guess the church goes back to about 1900.
