Obituary  Isaiah Wright

Mr. Isaiah Wright,one of the oldest  citizens  of  St.  Joseph,  died  this
morning at 8 o'clock.

Mr. Wright was a native of North Carolina. He moved to Indiana in an  early
day and built the first log house in what is now the city  of  Greencastle,
in that state. He has lived in this part of Champaign Co for  thirty  years
or more. He filled the office of Justice of the peace for a long time after
the organization of St. Joseph township. He was respected by all. We  don't
think there was a more honest man in the township than  father  Wright.  He
was in his 86th year at the time of his death. July 9, 1877.


Note: Isaiah was the son of Richard Wright, Jr.  (Rowan  Co.,  NC)  &  Mary
Nancy Morgan.

He was married 3 times: 1. Elizabeth (Polly) White 17  Mar  1814;  2.-Sarah
Kruder-July 25, 1852;3.-Phoebe Jarrett, 01 Aug 1875
