Thanks, Frank. I am looking for this lady's mother and father and other relatives.

She was married to Wm O Wright. MO and IN locations

The possible parents that I saw at familysearch.org were from the 1950 US Census. The surname is spelled a little differently. 

John H Ealum M 35 Tennessee

Hannah Ealum F 40 North Carolina

Mary Ealum F 4 Missouri

This appears to nail it. Everything fits except spelling.....always alternate

spellings in records. Thanks for the help !
