Records & Research

Maude Irene Wright Paulson (6 Jan 1869 - 7 Dec 1935) was born in Coral City, Wisconsin, and is buried in City Point Cemetery, City Point, Jackson County, Wisconsin (Row 2, Stone 6). She was the daughter of Zenas H. Wright (1838-1926) and the wife of Iver Paulson (1853-1931); her son Claude Zene Paulson (b. 1899) is listed in the same family. Her identity is confirmed by a Find a Grave memorial that independently agrees with the trusted family facts on birth date, death date, birth-place name, burial location, father (with life dates), spouse (with life dates), and a named child - a strong multi-anchor match with no contradictions.

Open questions (6)

Her mother Mary Jane Nott (1848-1927) is not listed on Maude's Find a Grave memorial (only the father is shown). A separate memorial for the mother was not located in this session.
Iver Paulson (1853-1931) and most children (Raeburn Iver 1893-1970, Mary Estelle 1896, Elma Alice 1897, Lynn 1902, and two who died young) were not individually verified; only son Claude Zene Paulson (b. 1899) is linked on the memorial. Their separate memorials/records were not retrieved.
The 1978 death year for Claude Zene Paulson comes only from the relationship listing on Maude's memorial and was not verified against his own record.
Death cause (stroke), the 1891-10-21 Minneapolis marriage, her schooling in Merrilan, her teaching near Alma Center/Merrilan/City Point, and her Eastern Star and Royal Neighbors of America memberships are from the trusted family report and remain uncorroborated by an independent public source found here.
Find a Grave lists Ancestry record hints (1900/1910/1920 federal censuses, Wisconsin state census 1855-1905, Wisconsin births index) attached to this memorial; these were not opened (paywalled) and could further confirm residence/occupation if accessed.
Birthplace county conflict (Trempealeau vs Jackson, via Hixton) for Coral City could be resolved with a period gazetteer or plat map.
