GreatX2 grandfather Frink's headstone/gravestone is, from what we understand, a Woodmen of the World marker. Some excellent information on these specific grave markers can be found at: http://archive.org/stream/markers20asso#page/n7/mode/2up/search/Woodmen

WILLIAM FRINK passed away at his home in Rutland on Thursday evening, Feb. 21, at the advanced age of 81 year, 1 month and 26 days. He had been confined to his home since Christmas but only a brief serious illness of five days preceded his death.
William S. (IT ACTUALLY IS S. WILLIAM.) Frink was born in Warren, Vermont, December 26, 1825 (HIS GRAVEMARKER READS 28 DEC. BUT WE BELIEVE IT ACTUALLY IS/SHOULD BE 26 DEC.), and was the third son of Calvin (ACTUALLY JOHN CALVIN) and Sarah Frink. He was converted and united with the Advent Christian Church in 1843 and died in that faith. In 1850 he was married to Miss Margaret McAllister at Fayston, Vermont, and to this union were born three children, one son and two daughters, all of who still survive him. The children are: Mrs. Jeanette Proctor, Rutland, Ill.; Leonard R. Frink, Peru, Ill.; and Mrs. Amelia J. Kingore, of Pontiac, Ill. There also survive one granddaughter, Miss Edna Proctor, Rutland, Ill. All, with their families, were in attendance upon the funeral services.
In 1855, Mr. Frink and family moved from Vermont to Illinois, first settling at Scott, Ogle, Co. They lived there until 1859 when they moved to Panola, Woodford county, and later from there to Metamora in the same county. After living there for several years, or until 1869, they finally moved to Rutland, LaSalle Co., Ill. During all this time the deceased followed farming and until 1885, when he took up the wheelwright trade which he continued to follow until the last year. In 1889 he was elected a Justice of the Peace for Groveland township and served as such until his death.
Funeral services were conducted at the Christian church, Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock, by Rev. H. Pollard, of Mendota, Ill., assisted by Rev. R. B. Doan, pastor of the Christian church, following which the remains were laid to rest in the Rutland cemetery.
Mr. Frink has passed the ripe old age of four score years, the last thirty-eight of which had been a resident in this locality and hence was well known to most of our citizens. He was a man of frugal, industrious and commendable habits and of sterling integrity and high moral character. As such he had commanded the respect of all who knew him. Even such as may have entertained differences of opinion with him were forced to acknowledge his uprightness and candor in all things. That he was a highly respected citizen and held in high esteem as such in this community does not need our assurances to confirm. His death removes one more of our aged residents and by a singular coincidence, completes a quartet of recently deceased citizens residing as close neighbors and whose home properties all cornered at the intersection of the same two streets, viz: John Wadleigh, Elmore Ward, Dr. H. D. Allen and Wm. S. (ACTUALLY S. WM.) Frink, three at least of whom were of that New England origin whence came the early founders of Rutland.
The bereaved widow and children will have the full sympathy of our citizens in their deep affliction.
