Description

Owen Thomas Wright and his wife Julia (O'Donald) Wright, with their four daughters. Handwritten inscription reads: "Owen T. Wright of Mead Centre, Kansas." Researcher Lisa Bauman, a descendant of Joshua Rice, has pointed out that Owen Thomas Wright was a Union soldier imprisoned with Joshua Rice at Andersonville during the Civil War. Along with Charles C. Thayer (see item # RICE-AN001-0002-0052), these men became close friends and helped each other to get through their days at the prison. Bauman references "Sunshine in Andersonville" by Rev. F. M. Cain, chapters 2 and 12, for this information. Original, professional photograph from Browner, Cottage Studio, Garden City, Kas.
