Jane Lambourn was Byard W Wright's 2nd wife. She and Bayard had 10 children.
"Jane Lambourn was born in Canterbury, County of Kent, England, November 30th, 1830. In the summer of 1850, she, with the family, emigrated to America and Illinois and settled on Sandy, her father, Levi Lambourn, having purchased the farm then known as the Jepaniah Swarts farm. She was the eldest of a family of ten children, only three of whom remain, Frederic Lambourn, of Los Angeles, California; Benjamin Lambourn, of Melvin, Illinois, and Mrs. Eliza White of Sonoma, California.
November 27th, 1854, Thanksgiving day, she was married to Byard Wright. They settled on an unimproved piece of land, a mile southwest of the center of Evans township. Mr. Wright was an excellent farmer and prospered. On this farm ten children were born and all were reared to manhood and womanhood there, except one, Ira, who died in infancy. Frank died about seven years ago [1898]. Mr. Wright died March 10th, 1890. Five sons and three daughters survive, as follows: James M., of Chicago; John and Edwin, of Evans township, Alfred, of Burbank, California; B.W., of Lacon; Mrs. Louisa Rigdon, of Abingdon; Mrs. Susan Hodge and Miss Ida May, of this city.
Mrs. Wright was christened in the church of England, but at the age of 14 she united with the Baptist church. When she came to America, there being no Baptist church in the community, she united with the Methodist Episcopal church on Sandy. She remained through life an attendant and supporter of the Methodist church. She died in peace, April 18th, 1905, aged 74 years, 4 months and 18 days.
When Mrs. Wright came to America and settled on Sandy, she was a healthy, strong and winsome young lady, 20 years of age. She rapidly made friends and was very popular in the community. Her reputation was good and her friendships were constantly extended. She was the mother of ten children, all of whom, save one, grew to maturity. They grew up under the influence of good family government. The manhood and womanhood which developed in the large family of boys and girls is the result of good care, wise management, valuable instruction and authority on the part of kind parents. The mother was authority in the home; that authority, however, was kindly exercised with an eye to the good of the child.
Her religious life was not of the emotional type, but consistent and reliable. In the later years of her life she was unable to get out of her home very often but enjoyed religious conversation with her friends when they called to see her. When we last visited her, some months ago, she was suffering severely and in speaking of her assurance that she was ready to go, she expressed a strong desire to die. She was positive in her faith and knew that she belonged to the Lord. She was a faithful mother and a true Christian woman. Our loss is her infinite gain.
"RESOLUTIONS"
Copied from The Wenona Index, no date [1905].
Whereas, in view of the loss we have sustained by the decease of our friend and associate, Mrs. Jane Wright, and of the still heavier loss sustained by those who were nearest and dearest to her, therefore be it
Resolved, that we, the members of the Housekeepers' Club, sincerely condole with the family of the deceased on the dispensation with which it has pleased Divine Providence to afflict them and commend them for consolation to Him who orders all things for the best and whose chastisements are meant in mercy.
Resolved, that these resolutions be spread upon our minutes, a copy be given to the bereaved family and that we request the Index to publish the same.
