S. B. Nelson & Co., Publishers, 1893WRIGHT TOWNSHIP
Was formed in 1851; was taken from old Hanover township and named in honor of Col. Hendrick B. Wright, of Wilkes-Barre. Conrad Wickeiser was the first settler in 1798; his place was near where James Wright made his tavern-stand. The last named gentleman opened the first tavern and built the first sawmill. These are all now in Fairview township.
In what is now Wright proper the first settler was probably Cornelius Garrison, in 1833 or 1834. He built his sawmill on the Big Wapwallopen creek in the southwest part of the township. This mill was the longest to continue to run in the township. Mr. Garrison made the first little farm improvement, planted the first crop and set out the first orchard. The settlements and most of the industry, to the time of the recent division of the township, were in what is now Fairview township. It is now left with its 152 inhabitants, without a postoffice, without a railroad station though two roads pass through it, and the few in-habitants are on the little patch farms, scattered sparsely on the few level places or clinging to the hillsides.
1900 Pennsylvania Census shows Cornelius and Margaret Garrison had 9 children, 6 living.

Waucoma - On Saturday p.m. at the Congregational church, Rev. Platts officiating, the funeral service of Mrs. R. J. Bunney was held. A large number came out to pay the last tribute of respect to the lady 86 years old, a pioneer in Waucoma, a good woman having led a long and useful life. She was a faithful christian worker, a pioneer Sunday school teacher. She had a family of seven children, leaves fifteen grand children and we think the same number of great grand children. Truly a good woman gone to her well earned reward, but her influence for good will not die.
