Today would have been my Great Grandfather David Joy Wright's 174th Birthday. If you want to see what I've found out about him up to now you can red his biography here.
My cousin Jim found a set of check that David Joy Wright had written in 1899 in his father's documents and he set them on to me. They arrived yesterday so I thought it would be appreciate to scan them and post them today.

Might be fun to see if I can find these people in the 1899 City Directories and see what type of work was being paid for but not all the checks where cashed in Northampton so I might have to look in a few directories.
