............................

He was 18 and lived at 723 Cleech in Harriman, Roane County, TN.

He was a helper in a foundry, employed by Harr[iman?] Machine Company in Harriman.

His nearest relative was his father, Rufus Wright, of Harriman.

He was tall and slender, with brown eyes and black hair.

He registered 09/12/1918 in Harriman.

......................

Suggestion: look for him in the 1910/20/30 Federal Censuses, and in the Tennessee State Marriages, 1780-2002. All of these are available on Ancestry.com, a suscription site.

Also, look (for free) on the Social Security Death Index.

Good luck!
