She was born in Wellsboro, Pa., January 5, 1839. During the war she went to visit a sister who was the wife of an army surgeon in Kansas, where she met and married Mr. Wright.

Some ten years ago Mr. Wright bought the Porter place in this village, where they have since resided. After coming here Mrs. Wright united with the Congregational Church.
