   Claud N. Cartwright, an enterprising citizen of Wichita, Kan., is a
great-grandson of the celebrated preacher Peter Cartwright, and the second child
of a family of five children born to Thomas B. and Mary E. (Cloud) Cartwright,

September 26, 1898; Madge E., born April 21, 1877; Oliver V., born March 20,
1880, and Arthur T., born August 25, 1882.

   Thomas B. Cartwright settled in Salem township, Sedgwick county, Kansas, with
his family in 1872. He lived there still 1882, when he sold his farm and bought
a quarter section of land in Waco township, which he improved and cultivated,
and where he made his home till 1903. He then sold the farm but still lives in
Waco township. He is a man of influence in the community and in 1888 was elected
county treasurer on the Democratic ticket and re-elected in 1890. The mother

   After leaving school Claud N., in 1889, entered the office of the county
treasurer as a clerk, and continued there till 1896, after which he served three

attention to business, dealing in pumps and windmills, and continued in that
line five years, with good success. In 1904 Mr. Cartwright was nominated and
elected county clerk of Sedgwick county, on the Democratic ticket, and
re-elected in 1906. At the close of his second term, in 1908f he opened offices
in the Anchor Trust building, and turned his attention to the real estate and
insurance business, which he has conducted with much success to the present
time. In political opinion and action Mr. Cartwright has always been a Democrat
-and is active in the local councils of his party, being at the present
time—1910—chairman of the County Central Committee.

   The subject of this sketch was united in marriage on the 15th of May, 1901,
