The sign marker at the front of the Friends Cemetery reads:

Friends Cemetery of the Springborough Quaker Meeting

Members of the Religious Society of Friends were instrumental in the founding and development of early Springboro.

This plot contains the remains of Springboro founder Jonathan Wright (1782-1855), a Quaker leader who donated part of his land holdings to his Meeting for this cemetery.

Also buried here are other members of the Wright family including Jonathan's father Joel. who platted Louisville, KY, and Columbus and Dayton, Ohio. Other burials include Revolutionary War veteran John Mullen; pioneer orchard magnate Jesse Wilson; and several African-Americans, who had no burial site of their own.

The Friends Meeting House of Springborough once stood inside the front gate.

After the Springborough Meeting was laid down, the plot was maintained by the Miami Monthly Meeting in Waynesville until 1996, when the cemetery was deeded to the City of Springboro.

Note: The sign marker has been removed some time between 2009 and 2013.
