Wright, J.T. - visits from Iowa
Source: Crawfordsville Daily Friday, 5 October 1894
J. T. Wright, of near Des Moines, Iowa, is here on a visit to friends in this city and vicinity. Mr. Wright left this county and went to Iowa in 1853. His father, George Wright, was for many years the keeper of Wright’s Tavern, three quarters of a mile west of Linden. This was in the day before railroads and of course did a thriving business. The changes that have been made in Madison Township, Mr. Wright says have been quite marked and there are but few recognized landmarks left. His father died about twenty years ago. Mr. Wright has been prosperous as he is the owner of 700 acres of fine land within eight miles of Des Moines.
