to Bylas along with her siblings. When she was about 16 years old she was given
by her family to Andy Wright who became her husband as that is how it was done
back in the earlier years of the Apaches. Together they had 6 children, took in her
younger siblings as they had no one to raise them and several years later they took
in a couple nephews. Linda was a very compassionate and caring lady who
welcomed and fed anyone that came to their home. She was a member of the 1 st
