According to Ann Rainwater Wright's obituary, she died in Elm Springs, Benton Co., AR:
Mrs. Wright, mother of W. T. Wright of this place, died Monday night at her home near Elm Springs. Funeral services were held at the residence Tuesday by Rev. E. L. Massey and the remains were taken to Bentonville for interment.
Mrs. Ann Wright, nee Rainwater, was born in North Carolina July 3d, 1825. She was married to B. H. Wright Oct 11th 1849. To this union was born eight children, one of whom passed on before her. Seven are still living, all grown. She died August 21st, 1899 at her home near Elm Springs in Benton county, Arkansas where she had lived for several years. For many years she was a member of the M.E. Church but for a number of years before her death she was connected with the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. She loved her church dearly, her hand and heart were always open to the various interests of the cburch. She was a true Christian in every sense of the word. Sister Wright, after suffering some weeks, met the issue calmly and sweetly. In this sad bereavement the church has lost one of its oldest members, her loving husband a loving wife and her children a doting mother, but their loss is her everlasting gain.
