Children: Maude (1895-1899)
Infant son (1896-1896
Jennie died in childbirth and her son is buried with her. Maude is buried next to her mother.
My Grandfather Angelo was a carpenter & when Jennie his first wife & Baby Boy died t he
built her casket & lined it with padding cover with fabric. The women in the family prepared & dressed the bodies. He told me he placed Jennie in first then laid the baby on her chest & wrapped Jennie's arms around him.
One day we were talking about Jennie & the children & he ask me if I every went to Missouri to put flowers to put flowers on Jennie grave for him. It was several years before I made the trip, but I did as he ask & placed on Jennie & Maude graves.
I was the only one he talked to about Jennie, he had saved her small white Bible & their original marriage certificate. He gave me both but told me not to tell my Mother as she & her siblings did not know about Jenny or the children. After my grandmother passed away in 1954, he gave me their original wedding certificate also.
I know he loved my grandmother but I have always felt Jennie was the love of his life.
Angelo is buried next to my Grandmother Anise D. Wright in Forest Lawn Cemetery Beaumont, Jefferson County, Texas
