Her name is Gertrude Ada Wright on her birth record and family records. When a marker was ordered, the names became reversed.
Gertrude's death resulted from a head trauma after being hit in the head by an icy snowball. She died a few months after the initial injury. Her grave is adjacent to her grandparents, Andrew Nelson & Susan M. (Minnich) Wright.
Her birth date is shown as April 18 on the grave marker. This was based on the 1910 census. April 13th is the date recorded in the Auglaize County birth records.
Her grave was unmarked for many years. Her brother Doyle had this marker installed (date unknown). He felt that his sister who he never met deserved a marker.
Her portrait picture contains a lock of her red hair, like her mother's. The picture is in the possession of her great-grandniece Carolyn France Lausch.
