Black male, born about 1872. He was single and about 60 years old at the time of his death on January 4, 1922 at the corner of Jordan and Tarragona Streets in Pensacola, FL. He had lived in the city for about 20 years. He worked as a laborer, and died of burns. There is no indication on the death certificate as to how the burns were sustained. There is no informant on the death certificate, and no information on Wright’s birthplace or parents. The death certificate was signed by William Anderson, M.D., and he was buried in the Escambia County Poor Farm cemetery by F.R. Pou.
A Wright Carter appeared in the 1916 and 1913 Pensacola City Directories, working as a laborer and living at 1303 Hayne St. I do not see him in any other Pensacola directories during his lifetime. He does not appear in a search of census records of the time.
There is a Wright Carter who lived in Jacksonville who was alive in 1924; and a Wright Carter in Tampa who was White, which eliminates each of them as the subject Wright Carter.
