Mrs. Wright is buried between two other Wrights, but Findagrave is silent as to their relationship with Mr. J.E. Wright. Lou Edna Wright was her step-daughter. This is a standard model, with the common floral detail, and the main inscription is below a wreath on the front:

Rellie
Wright

Born
June 3, 1837,
Died
June 1890.

Gone from our home,
but not from our hearts

-----

Side two features a female hand pointing Heavenward, with this epitaph:

Dear mother, in Earth's
thorny paths
how long thy feet have
trod!
To find at least this
peaceful rest,
safe in the arms of God

-----

Side three features a sheaf of wheat, with this epitaph:

Weep not for
her;
She is not dead,
but sleepeth.

-----

Side four features a cross with a rose garland and this epitaph:

A happier lot
than ours,
and larger light
surrounds thee
there.
