United Brethren Church Reform Movement Writings
1881-1896
These pamphlets deal with the United Brethren in Christ
controversy of 1889-1896. Schism developed from a prohibition of
membership in secret societies; the policy had long been a feature
of the church. A liberal reform element sought to modify this ban. A
conservative, or Radical, element, led by Milton Wright, fought the
attempted changes. Court cases over which faction owned church
property aggravated the quarrel, which eventually split the church.
Courts held the “Liberals” to be the true church and ruled that the
“Radicals” had seceded and organized a new society. Wilbur Wright
authored two pamphlets supporting his father’s views.

Societies, Volume 1, Number 1, Richmond, Indiana

Keiter Affair
1893-1911
These files contain materials pertaining to a scandal that developed
over the management of the United Brethren Publishing House in
Dayton, Ohio, by the agent Millard F. Keiter. In 1895, certain church
leaders, including Milton Wright, began to suspect that the books
were not properly kept. Audits uncovered large discrepancies and
Keiter was forced out of office. This affair cuased a great divide in
the Church between those members who supported Milton Wright
in his unwavering attempt to prove that Keiter embezzled funds and
those who supported Keiter.

made possible through a donation to the Communication Department
at Wright State University from The Greenwood Family. The archive
includes all of the issues listed below, as well as additional issues from

Genealogical Writings and Correspondence
Milton Wright was an avid genealogist. His passion started when he was a young
man and continued until his death. Milton wrote to family members throughout the
United States and Germany seeking information on the Wright and Koerner families.
Orville continued the search after Milton’s death in 1917. Most of the letters in this
subseries are those received by Milton and Orville. On a few occasions, there are
copies of letters sent by Orville in reply or by his secretary, Mabel Beck. At the end
of many of the files are undated materials in Milton’s handwriting. These materials
include essays, notes, and family trees.
The letters are not strictly genealogical. The correspondent would also include news
on daily activities, health, school, war, religion, and temperance. Of particular note
are the many letters of condolence to Milton upon the death of Wilbur Wright of
typhoid in 1912. Some letters praise Wilbur and Orville for their accomplishments in
the development of flight. Milton Wright also wrote several essays about his family
and his life. These are included at the beginning of this subseries.
