Happy Birthday!
On this day in 1867, Wilbur Wright was born near Millville Indiana. The third child born to Milton and Susan Wright, Orville would eventually have four younger siblings, but two would die during their infancy. As a result of his father's job, Wilbur and the Wright family would move around often as he grew up, spending time in Indiana and Iowa before settling down in Dayton, Ohio right as he was preparing to finish high school. Always easy to spot in pictures with his siblings, Wilbur is the only brother to not sport a mustache as an adult. Happy 158th birthday Wilbur!
