WILLIAM H. BRIGHT, M. D., a prominent citizen and physician of
Martinsburg, was born in Oldham County, Ky., on the 13th of September,
1831, being the second in a family of three children born to James H. and
Susannah (Truman) Bright.  His parents were natives of Maryland, from
which State they removed to Kentucky in 1812, and in 1836 removed to Parke
County, Ind.  The mother removed to Washington County in 1839, the father
having died previous to this time.  The subject of this sketch had the
advantage of a good common school education, and by his energy succeeded
in laying up enough to enable him to attend medical lectures at Rush
Medical College, at Chicago, where he graduated in 1865.  On the 13th of
December, 1863, his marriage with Hester Martin was solemnized, and to
this union have been born nine children, seven of whom are now living: 
James C. (dead), Flora A. (dead), Charles M., Amelia L., William H., John
C., Mary O., Nancy E. and Effie.  He is not a member of any church
organization, but is a member of the Masonic order.  In politics he is a
stanch Republican.  By occupation he was formerly a farmer, but at present
is engaged in the practice of medicine.  He has a good and lucrative
practice, and is a leading man in the community.
