Notes by W.E.Wright I have a letter dated March 17, 1922 from Woodlawn Masonic Cemetery Assn. San Francisco, CA to B.F.Wright, Tacoma, WA. It concerns abandonment ot the old cemetery and removal of remains to a new Masonic cemetery. Ben Wright is the lot owner and the following interments are listed. Mitchell, Mary J 2yrs died 1886 2/23 Mitchell, Frances A 43 yrs died 1880 3/15 Wright, C.A. 16 yrs died 1866 8/12 Wright, Benj. F. 60 yrs died 1886 11/9 Wright, Hannah 63 yrs died 1892 4/25 These people do not appear to be of the 7 sons 1 daughter of Robert and Ann Wright from McHenry, Ill. Is Benjamin a brother, born 1 year later? I have no recollection from family oral history. Is the Ben that we know of a nephew with same name? How did he become owner of the plot? See note on Robert Wright re marriage record. Hannah Wright was a witness.
