From the family Bible belonging to Lucretia E Morgan Wright:
["Births" page]: Oscar D Wright in Lee, Madison County, Iowa on the 21st day of January A. D. 1869.
["Deaths" page]: Oscar D Wright at Jefferson, Madison County, Iowa on the 30th day of August A. D. 1869.
The Fairview Cemetery Association, Winterset, Iowa, records, and the grave marker state: Wright, Oscar D., Son of M. E. and L. E. Wright, Died June 27, 1869, aged 7 Months 9 Days.
Why the cemetery record and the headstone contain the above death date is uncertain. The dates recorded in the Bible substantiate the age given in the cemetery record--7 months and 9 days. The Bible dates are most likely the accurate ones.
Oscar's father, Munson E Wright, moved to Madison County, Iowa with his wife, Lucretia, in 1868. They remained there for 16 years. During this time their first child, Oscar D., was born and died in 1869. This was likely the reason Munson purchased Lot 24 in Fairview Cemetery, containing 8 grave sites. Two of these are occupied by Oscar D. and his younger brother, Albion D. (who also died in infancy--FAG memorial #52989968). One site is occupied by a Melvin Whitney (death 1898). The other 5 sites are vacant. Munson bought property in Sac County, Iowa in 1876 and moved his family there in 1878. Their daughter, Winnie C., died in Sac County when she was 18 years old. She and her parents are buried in Chase Cemetery near Schaller.
