Charles M. Wright, one of the three living children of Matthias and Amanda
(Young) Wright, who were among the earliest settlers of Shelby County, was born June 6,
1857, being the youngest son now living. He was reared on the farm, where he now and
has always lived. Following in the footsteps of his father, [he] has made farming a life occu-
pation and has been very successful. He occupies a portion of his father's farm, and has
succeeded in purchasing a tract of sixty-eight acres, in his own right. He was educated in
the schools of the county, supplemented by attendance one term at the Daville Normal
College. He is an enterprising and systematic farmer and bids fair to become one of the
county's most substantial citizens. In 1881, his marriage with Anna Bass was solemnized
and to their union these three children have been born, Verlie A., Mary M., and
Lesta J.
