General Notes: Husband - Rev. Joseph Wright
He received a common-school education, which was supplemented by study at Canonsburg College, where he was at the point of graduating when failing health compelled him to leave. After this he became a local preacher in the M. E. Church, and every Sabbath he conducted Divine service up to the day of his death. He was a close student, making it a rule to read six hours every day. In politics he was a Whig. The family were all members of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
He was a close student, and in the later years of his life was engaged in work upon a dictionary. He had reached the letter M at the time of his death. And it proved labor lost, as the completed manuscript was entirely destroyed in the hurricane which swept over this [Nottingham] township in 1854. [HWC 1882, 889]
