Hallie Wright

1890 - 1942  (52 years)

• Name	Hallie Wright  [1]
  	In the 1900 census her name appears to be "Panis." In the 1920 census, it seems likely that she is the "A. L. O'Rourke" listed as head of household for a boarding house in Rapides Parish, Louisiana, as Bettie Wright is listed as "mother." Bettie Wright's 1930 obituary names among her children "Mrs. Ray Jacobs, of San Francisco." A search of 1930 census for San Francisco County reveals a Ray G. Jacobs married to Hattie--born about 1890 in Arkansas. However, voter's registration and her death registration name her as "Hallie W."
  Born	11 Mar 1890	Arkansas, USA   [1]
  	Hallie's age is 10 in the 1900 census, but 28 in the 1920 census, calculating to a birth year of 1890-1892. Her death certificate, however, gave her birthdate as 11 March 1893. It is likely that the day was 11 March (agreeing with the 1900 census which gave her birth month as March), but she was probably born in 1890.

  Voter's Registration	1932	1000 Holloway Ave., San Francisco, San Francisco County, California, USA   [5]
  	"Jacobs, Mrs. Hallie W., 1000 Holloway Ave., Dem" and "Jacobs, Ray G., 1000 Holloway Ave., Dem."
  Voter's Registration	1934	208 Rose Avenue, Mill Valley, Marin County, California, USA   [6]
  	"Mrs. Hallie W. Jacobs" (housewife) and "Mr. Ray G. Jacobs" (manufacturers agent), both of 208 Rose Ave.
  Parents	Hallie's death index (from death cert) names her father as "Wright" and her mother as "Ledbetter." The latter is an understandable error, as her mother was born Bettie Atkinson, but Bettie's mother Mary Jane Adams was first married to an Atkinson (Bettie's father) and second to a Ledbetter.   [7]
