General Notes: Husband - Joshua Wright

---

He was born in Peters township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, where he lived continuously until 1859, when he moved into Washington borough, in order to give his children a thorough education.

He was reared on the old family farm where he was born, then for a short time attended the subscription schools of the neighborhood, and afterward studied at an academy. The principal part of his education was received from his father, who commenced to teach him Hebrew before he was ten years of age, making him rise in the morning at four or five o'clock for the purpose of study. For a private tutor he had one Aaron Gammel, under whom he studied every day, without a vacation, for a year.
In 1870 he opened a bank, in partnership with Col. William Hopkins and Hon. James H. Hopkins, and continued in this business until his retirement in 1885. For many years he was a member of the M. E. Church.
