Have not had much time to look but did find the following:
Aurelia P. Wright married Thomas D. Howell on 3 May 1893 in Wapello County Iowa.
Kneely D. Wright appears in the 1870 Federal Census for Lucas County, Iowa. Indicates that he was born abt 1847 in West Virginia. Appears to be married to Mary P.A. Campbell born 1854 and living with Mary's parents, John Campbell.
He appears in the 1900 Federal census living in Wapello County with wife Rebecca A. Wright born abt 1847 in Pennsylvania. Would guess that wife, Mary, died before 1877 since census indicates that Kneely and Rebecca were married about 1877.
The 1925 Iowa census indicates that Rebecca's parents were Jacob Shreeves born Pennsylvania and Catherine Sands also born Pennsylvania. She is living with son Raphael, who is divorced, and a grandson.
WPA records indicate that Kneely O. Wright was born in 1847 and died in 1922 and is buried in Shaul Cemetery and that Rebecca was born 1847 and died in 1932 and is also buried in Shaul Cemetery, Ottumwa, Iowa.
I have checked the 1932 obits and can find nothing on Rebecca. Will check the obits for 1922 to see if I can find Kneely in a few days.
