Ingham (1899) THEODORE WRIGHT, M. D., a well-known physician and surgeon of Dushore, Pennsylvania, is one of the younger members of the medical fraternity of Sullivan county, but his prominence is by no means measured by his years; on the contrary he has won the reputation which many an older practitioner might well envy. The Doctor was born in Venango county, Pennsylvania, October 28, 1868, and is a son of Theodore and Stella E. (Ferry) Wright, both natives of northeastern Pennsylvania, the former of Bradford county, the latter of Tioga county. The father is a man of prominence and is now editor-in-chief of the Philadelphia Record. Our subject was educated in a private military academy of that city, and commenced the study of medicine under Dr. M. T. Prendergast, attending physician to St. Joseph's hospital. In the spring of 1891 he graduated in the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania, and gained a good practical knowledge of his chosen profession by spending one year in practice at the Polyclinic Hospital. Coming to Dushore in the winter of 1892-93, he remained here for five months, but in the spring of 1893 returned to Philadelphia, where he was engaged in practice for two years. On the 1st of May, 1898, he returned to Dushore, where he now enjoys a lucrative and constantly increasing practice, his skill and ability being widely recognized. In 1892 was celebrated the marriage of Dr. Wright and Miss Rose M. Murney, daughter of Captain John Murney, of Philadelphia, and of this union have been born four children, namely: Theodore, John Bruce, Joseph Singerly and George Dewey.
