The Wright Cemetery was started with land donated by Hezekiah Buren Wright , who was an early settler in Greene County from Hickman County, TN. His wife, Martha Jane (Stares) Perry Wright, wanted to be buried on the hill of the old homestead. When she died on January 3, 1863, Hezekiah proceeded with her wishes and thus the start of Wright Cemetery. Later when settlers came through with a sick six month old baby that later died, they asked Hezekiah about local burial. He allowed them to bury the baby at the cemetery. This grave has possibly been found with only two flat rocks buried out from the other family graves. The cemetery is well kept. At this time, donations are being taken for a privacy fence on the East side of the cemetery. Anyone wishing to donate or for other information on the cemetery contact me at keithvicky@hotmail.com. |
