Mabel Glenn "Mayme" Snyder was the daughter of William Kester Snyder and Della Amanda Martin. She was born at the home of her grandparents, Daniel and Lettie Snyder. She spent her early years on her parent's farm southeast of Bucklin, Kansas. She graduated from Bucklin High School in 1919 and attended Pittsburg, Kansas Teachers Collage. Coming from a musical family, she played the saxophone during her childhood years and her interest in music lasted an entire lifetime.
She married Milo Preston Wright, son of Charles Ira Wright and Carrie Belle Hammer, 20 Dec 1929 at Bucklin, Ford County, Kansas.
While living in Bucklin, Kansas they started a business called "Wright-Way Music Teaching Aides". This business brought many years of enjoyment and success for them both. The Wright-Way line consisted of a Note Finder (a mechanical flash card), a variety of Award Seals, and a "Practice Book" for students.
At the beginning of World War II, Mayme and Milo moved to Wichita, Kansas to work in the defense industry. Milo worked for Boeing Aircraft and Mayme for Cessna. They continued to run their "Wright-Way Music" business in the basement of their home until 1982, at which time they sold it to a Chicago publishing company.
Mayme took a lot of pride in her home and decorated it beautifully. She was an expert gardener and created beautiful flower gardens as well.
Mayme and Milo died only sixteen hours apart. She passed on a Friday evening around 6 P.M. and he passed the following Saturday morning around 9 A.M.
They did not have children but dearly loved their nieces and nephews. That love was returned by each one of them, who had happy memories of family reunions held at "Aunt Mayme and Uncle Milo's home".
