Besides Mr. Wright, Findagrave lists those inside the mausoleum as:
Julia Ann (Gober) Wright - His wife. Her family were early pioneers in Fannin County, and Gober, TX, bears the name of two of her relatives.
James Gillenwaters Wright, Whitney Crow Wright, and William Wesley Wright - Their sons.
Sena Aileen Wright - Wife of William Wesley Wright.
Noble Mounts Wright - Unclear as to the relationship.
William Wesley Wright - Infant son of Noble Mounts Wright.
Note that there are no headstones with the name "Wright" in the plot where the mausoleum stands, but many of them bear the name "Smoot," and the two lines were linked by marriage. It is unknown if these Smoots are related to the man who provided land for this cemetery, James M. Smoot.
