(1) History of Law Class of 1883 of Michigan University via Michigan Law - University of Michigan

"Colin Wilson WRIGHT was born near Lancaster, Grant county, Wisconsin, Feb. 8, 1858. His parents emigrated from England about thirty-five years ago, and settled near Argyle, in Lafayette county, Wisconsin. They are both living and reside at Mineral Point, Iowa county, Wisconsin, where his father is a miller. He first attended the Public Schools at Argyle, and after leaving them, he attended for a short time the First Normal School of Wisconsin. After he left the Normal School he was engaged in teaching. He is a Democrat. During the past summer he read law for a short time in the office of Lanyon and Spenseley, Mineral Point. He has not yet decided where he will be practicing. As is customary for the class to select as their Marshal a man of large stature they found in Mr. WRIGHT every requirement for the position, and therefore elected him to that office."
