Hargie was the son of James and Emma (Caudill) Wright of Johnson County, Kentucky. He began working in the coal mines of eastern Kentucky when he was 9 years old. It is rumored that his father ran a whiskey still in Johnson County, and Hargie helped him to deliver the whiskey to local families when he wasn't working in the mines.

Sometime in the 1930's, Hargie moved with his family to Clarksville, Ohio, for reasons unknown.

Hargie was drafted to serve the United States Army in World War 2. By the time he completed basic training, the war had ended. He then received an Honorary Discharge from the U.S. Army, and had attained the rank of Private.

He started a career with the Ohio Department of Transportation as a highway supervisor after his brief service in the Army. He also worked with the local county Sheriff's Offices and local police departments as a reserve officer.

While living in Clarksville, Hargie joined Clarksville Lodge #323, Free and Accepted Masons. He became a Master Mason on August 7, 1958.

Hargie had only 2 children by 2 previous marriages. He died on October 5, 1988 of a Massive heart attack, the result of Arteriosclorotic heart disease from which he had been afflicted for many years.
