WRIGHT, Hattie WEBSTER n/a - 1931

Mrs. Marsh Wright Dead - Word has been received of the death of Mrs. M. P. Wright, 
December 31, in Los Angeles, Calif. Mrs. Wright's death recalls to many Clinton 
residents, the pioneer days of Clinton, for her parents, and she, too, were leaders 
in the social and community life of that time, 1870. Hattie Webster was reared 
in Henry county, her father being a pioneer farmer, owning large tracts of land 
which became hers at their death, and she was said to be one of the wealthiest 
maidens in the county. She made her home with her guardian, D. C. Stone, a banker

She was a very attractive woman. Her husband, who survives, is Marshall P. 
Wright, and at the time of their marriage was a banker in Clinton. They made 
their home at the corner of Second and Franklin, in a two story brick house, 
which has long since been destroyed. Two children were given them, Jacqueline 
and Foster, and later, in California, a daughter, Helen.
