WRIGHT J The subject of this biography is pre-eminently a self-made man, whose life-htstory Illustrates, in a marked degree, what may be accomplished by native force of character. Beginning life without capital or influential friends, he had steadily worked his way to the front, overcoming every obstacle until success smiled upon his efforts. By strict honesty and adherence to correct business principles, and the exercise of sound discretion and good judgment, he has won universal confidence, and now stands a fair type of American energy and thrift. Adelbert S. Wright was born in Pompey, New York, Feb. 14, 1847, the son of Lysander and Caroline (Seely) Wright. The Wrights are of New England and Puritan ancestry, and were early settlers of New York State, where the father, Lysander Wright, was born. Both Mr. and Mrs. Wright died in middle age, the mother when Adelbert was but nine, and the father when he was thirteen years of age. Being so early left an orphan, he had but a slight knowledge of his parents, and Elks, his school days were limited to about* two years in the district school. When about eight years old he began to work on a farm near Pompey, N. Y., and from that time on supported himself, beginning at that early age to .provide himself with clothing. in 1861 he engaged as a clerk in a drug-store at Manlius, N. Y., and remained there two years, when in December, 1863, he enlisted as a private in Company E, Twenty-second New York Cavalry, to serve three years in the Civil War. Early in the service he was taken dress, and carried a shower bouftuet of sick from a severe case of typhoid tea roses and blue delphinium.

Tha£ such eminent men could be Induced to visit a "County Fair," well illustrates Mr. Wright's high standing and wide influence with the leading men of the^day. During his term of office as Secretary, the County Fair was raised from a society of little importance to one of the ideal County Fairs of the State, and became not only a source of pleasure and recreation to the people, but an educational factor-of intrinsic worth. Politically Mr. Wright has been a Republican from his earliest years, and cast his\ first vote for tbe great soldier and statesman! Gen. U. S. Grant His vote haB also helped President Garfield, Harrison and McKinley to the presidential chair, a record of which he is justly proud. ^ Mr. Wright has worked with great zeal and efficiency for the success of his parly, and""his efforts have been widely recognized by the leaders and founders of republican thought. In 1889 Mr. Wright was appointed penitentiary Commissioner by Gov. Joseph Fifer, and served four years. During Gov, Tanner's administration, he was President of the Board of Trustees of the Northern Illinois Hospital for the Insane at Elgin. * In the early days; of Gov. Richard- Yates* administration, Mr. Wright received an appointment on the Board of Trustees of the Soldiers' Home at Normal, 111., but later, at the request of Gov. Yates, accepted ah appointment as a member of the State Board of Public Charities, which he held throughout Governor Deneen's admin istration. In all of these positions he has proved himself a capable official and ot great executive ability. He was a member of the G. A. R., his home Post being No. 108, Woodstock, in which he had held all the important offices, and had also served four times as a member of the Council of Administration of the Department of Illinois. Fraternally Mr. Wright was a Mason, His lodges were Blue Lodge and Calvary Commandery, Woodstock.

This was a very Important and responsible position for so young» man, as Mr. Wright was then but about seventeen years of age. He was offered the appointment of Hospital Steward, but declined as he wished to remain in the regular service of the army. Mr. Wright rejoined his regiment and was in active service in the Shenandoah Valley until August, 1895, the time of his discharge. In January, 1866, he came to Woodstock and entered the drug store of W. P. Adams, his former employer at Manlius. In 1869 Mr. Wright formed a partnership with John S. Wheat, and (in 1880 commenced business for himself, in which he has been very successful and enjoys the reputation of being one of the most skillful and reliable druggists ir McHenry County. For twelve year , Mr. Wright was Secretary of the M .'Henry County Agricultural Association, and proved himself not only an efficient official, but a man of great executive ability. When-he became connected with the County Fair, he found that the Interests of the people had been greatly lessened, that matters were in a generally disrupted condition, and the buildings were becoming dilapidated. Always determined and energetic. Mr. Wright's first endeavor was to interest the people of the county in the fair. To do this he not only adopted all the best measures of expert fair managers, but devised a great many unique attractions. He appealed to every farmer with whom he came in contact to provide something for exhibition at the fair, and to attend it personally with their friends and families. Mr. Wright, having for several [years taken an active part in politics, had a great many Influential friends and acquaintances among the foremost politicians and public men of the day, and was thus able to induce many of the most prominent men to visit the fair and address the people on the leading questions of the day. He made it non-partisan in Order to give all parties an opportunity, and selected a day for each party, and, In this manner, large numbers of people were attracted to hear these eminent men. of whom the following are a few: Gen. John A. Logan, James Longstreet (the famous Confederate ^ G e n e r a l ) , G o v e r n o r s C u l l o m a n d Ogle»hy< and Fifield (of Wisconsin). Carter Harrison, Gen. John C. Black and Hon. El B. Washburn. These names were among the distinguished guests of the society from 1880 to 1887. r Since 1887 the people have had the pleasure of hearing such men as Hon. Samuel J. Randall, of Pennsylvania; Postmaster General A. BL Stevenson; Hoa. William M. Springer; Hon. Joseph Fifer; Gea. John M. Palmer; Ex-Governor St John, of Kansas, and many other famous men.
