1833-1918

Adoniram Judson Wright

Dentist              New York/California

Born in 1833, Adoniram Judson Wright spent his career as a dentist.  This New York native graduated from the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery in 1855 but stayed on at least one more year for post-graduate study.[1] He was married to Rose Ann Riley Wright (1837-1918).  Dr. Wright died in 1918 at age 84 and is buried in Oak Hill Memorial Park in San Jose, Santa Clara County, California.

(Compiler’s Note: While researching the history of dentist Adoniram Judson Wright, I discovered in the same catalogue a listing of A. Judson Sedwick from Virginia who graduated from the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery in 1853. I make the assumption that A. Judson is also named for Adoniram but am unable to document it or find anything else about his career.[1])
