Miss Wright is buried between two other Wrights, but Findagrave is silent as to their relationship with Mr. J.E. Wright. Lou Edna's step-mother, Rellie, is buried beside her. This is a standard model, with the common floral detail, and the main inscription is below a figure holding an anchor on the front:

Lou Edna

Daughter
of
L.C. & Hannah
Wright,

Born
July 18, 1869,
Died
Oct. 13, 1884.

How desolate our home,
bereft of thee.

-----

Side two features a psychopomp with an epitaph on the panel, reading:

A flower just blooming into life,
enticed an angel's eye,
Too pure for Earth, he said, come home
and bade the floweret die.

-----

Side three features two angels in supplication, with a lamb on the panel, denoting Lou Edna's young age at the time of her passing.

-----

Side four features a wreath of roses and "Many hopes have died with thee" on the panel.
