Edwin M. Wright (1836-1893).

Edwin M. Wright practiced law in St. Cloud from his admission to the bar in 1864 to 1873 when he moved to Otter Tail County to farm and continue practicing his profession. He practiced law in Fergus Falls either by himself or with a partner from 1873 to shortly before his death on November 27, 1893, at age fifty-seven. In his obituary, the "Fergus Falls Daily Journal" described him:

"Mr. Wright was a man of broad and liberal views on all subjects. He was a thinker, a reader and student. He had fine argumentative powers and at the same time was personally the most genial of men. He was the possessor of oratorical powers of a high order. He was a man of the strictest integrity and highest views of morality."
