HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE:

The name of this cemetery Glenmore, was changed a few years ago, to Wright 
World.  It has been neglected and the stones have been removed or stolen.

One grave had a horizontal stone said to have been imported from England, and 
bore the following inscription:

Here lie the remains of
Amy Watson
daughter of William Watson and  Amy his wife
who departed this life the 20th September 1769
in the 18th year of her age
All the virtues, graces and shining accomplishments
which adorn the sex, were united in the aimable young
lady, to make her death sincerely regretted and her
memory ever dear to her acquaintances.

There was another slab with the date 1716, Ruth Watson but they all have been 
taken away and the burying ground is unkept.
