Inscription
Erected by the
Woodmen of the World
In memory of my
Beloved Husband.
A precious one from us
has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled.
A place is vacant in our
home,
Which never can be filled.
God in his wisdom has recalled
The boon his love has given,
And though the body mould-
ers here,
The soul is safe in heaven.
