William Franklin Wright was born February 22, 1902 in Eden, Concho County, Texas, to James King Wright and Carolina "Carrie" Garms. His father was a minister and they moved quite often, living in Georgia, Oklahoma, Texas and Arizona. William was a farmer. He married Della Mildred Addington, of Santa Ana, California on December 8, 1924. They had two little girls, one of whom died when she was 4 years old in Fagstaff, Arizona. She was buried on her grandfather's homestead on Garland Prairie beside her uncle, John Wesley Wright, who was 13 years old. William and Della lived in the Camp Verde area of Yavapai County, Arizona and would go to Garland Prairie where William's father had a homestead of 200 acres. Farming was uncertain in that part of Northern Arizona, as seasons were short and there wasn't much water. Crops that would usually make were beans, corn, oats and potatoes. Some garden vegetaqbles that would grow were carrots, turnips, green beans and rutagas. Wiliam Franklin homsteaded 82 and 1/2 acres of land on Garland Prairie in 1941. It may have joined the 200 acres that James King Wright had homsteaded in 1928. William Franklin Wright died May 5, 1981 in Parks (or perhaps Garland Prairie) and is buried by his wife, Della, in the Mountain View Cemetery, Williams, Coconino County, Arizona,
