INGLERIGHT: (submitted by Dave, dbarricklow@qtm.net)

Sylvia Fuller Ingleright was possibly b. in Adams, Mass. She married Wm. Apr. 22, 1855, Niles. Marriage license is under the mispelling of Bugleright, Liber B, p. 378. William's second wife was Jocobina Fredericka Conradt, m. Dec. 18, 1901.

Berrien County Federal Census, 1880, reads:

Ingleright, William, White, Male, 46, Farmer, b. Michigan
...Sylvia, White, Female, 52, Keeping House, b. Mass.
..Arthur, White, Male, 19, Laborer, b. MI
...Maria, White, Female, 18, at home, b. MI

Buchanan Record, Friday Sept. 16, 1904, reads:
In Memoriam Wm. Ingleright was born in Niles on March 17, 1833. His early life was spent around Buchanan. He went to school in the Kelsey school district. In 1855 he was joined in holy marriage to Silva Fuller who on July 8, 1900 preceded him in death. This union was blessed with five children, two sons and three daughters being still alive.
On December 8, 1901, he again embarked upon the matrimonial sea and this time with Mrs. Fredricka Carpenter, his now mourning wife besides the aforementioned and children he leaves to mourn his loss one brother and three sisters.
Mr. Ingleright was a veteran of the civil war in which he served faithfully three years receiving an honorable discharge. He carried about with him the mark of his service for his country, in that he lost one eye on a southern battlefield. On his return he settled with his family on the farm which he still owned at the time of his decease, a few miles northwest of Buchanan on the river road. He lived there until last spring when he moved on the farm owned by Mrs. Ingleright where he died.
Since last November he had been ailing very much with heart trouble, but he was a very patient sufferer. The end came peacefully and rather unexpectedly at 12:40 pm Sept. 13, 1904. Funeral services conducted by Rev. J.A. Halumhuber of the evangelical church were held on Thursday Sept 15 at 10am from the house and 10:30 at Coveney's school house. No parting words shall e'er be spoken, In yonder world so fair; But songs of joy and peace and gladness, we'll sing forever there."
