The following is a well written ac¬ count of his life from the public press of Neenah, Wisconsin: "In 1834, at the age of 21, he went to Ohio and entered the medical college at Newark, Ohio, where he remained some time, afterward pursuing his studies in Walloughby and Cleveland, graduating in the latter city. In 1848, fourteen years after en¬ tering upon a medical career, he came to Oshkosh and with his brother, A. B. Wright, who was also physician, formed a part¬ nership for the practice of his profession. On September 1, 1855, he was married in Henderson, N. Y., to Eachel E. Finney. ITe continued to make his home in Oshkosh until the year 1875, wdien he wdth his family removed to Neenah, wdiere he has since resided. ¦ Dr. I. II. Wright and his brother, the late Dr. A. B. Wright, were successful physicians in Oshkosh for many years and had a large and lucrative practice. Their faces and forms were familiar to everyone, especially the old settlers, and their lives were closely interwoA^en wdth the early history of that city and the county generally. In their capacity of physicians they ministered to the wants of the new-born infant, restored the sick to health and alleviated the sufferings of those about to die. Dr. T. H. Wright, being the larger of the two, was called 'Big Doc' to distinguish him from his brother, who was equally well known as 'Little Doc' Dr. Wright continued in the practice of his profession in Neenah as long as his health permitted, as his active nature would not permit him to remain unemployed. In the death of Dr. Wright the county loses an old settler and one of its most historic characters and one who stood well up in his profession. Early day settlers can recall his erect and com¬ manding figure and relate how they have seen him going at full speed, mounted on a fine horse, to answer an urgent call perhaps some distance in the county. Horseback was then the favorite means of transportation used by physicians, and they were often in the saddle for many hours out of the twenty-four, and a man needed for that profession a rugged constitution backed by a tremendous force of will. Such a man ,was the late Dr. Wright, and though a large share of his early associates and acquaint¬ ances have passed on before, he will long he remembered by the rising generation." In "Harney's History of Winnebago County" occurs the following excellent biography: "Among the early settlers of Winnebago county is Dr. I. H. Wright, now (1879) of the city of Neenah.
