John Dewey William McKinley Wright

This is my Grandfather John Dewey William McKinley Wright, whom I never got to meet. He was my Mother's dad and her parents were divorced when she was little. He died while she was still pretty young.

What little I know of him was that he was a mechanic and an alcoholic. Martha Lolove Garrett married John Dewey William McKinley Wright on July 30th, 1924. Quite a character when my Grandmother married him, but he turned out to be too much for her and they divorced. My Grandmother Wright mostly raised six children on her own. She was a hard-working woman.
