The property belongs to Mark and Randy Johnson. Mack Coalson lives in the house at the end of Branch Drive; he said he would give directions to cemetery.

We gave the cemetery this name because Wright is the only name that could be found on stones, and several of the burials were children of R. E. and M. J. Wright.
