Mr. Wright is buried with two other Wrights, but Findagrave is silent as to his relationship with them. This is a standard model, with the common floral detail, and the family name, "Wright", is on the front plinth. The compass and square of the Freemasons is above the main inscription:

J.E. Wright
Born Nov. 1857,
Died Jan. 21, 1891

He has gone from his
loved ones,
his wife and his child,
whom he willingly
toiled for
and loved as his life.

Oh, God, how mysterious
and how strange are thy
ways,
to take from us this
loved one
in the best of his days.

-----

There are epitaphs on the three other panels:

Thy will be
done.

Thy memory will
we cherish,
'Till we see thy
heavenly face.

Thou has left
us,
How we miss
thee.
