17 MAY 2020, Memorial notes/at or near date of transfer. Added gender. 1) A Woodmen of America/Woodmen of the World monument. The Woodmen of the World organization was probably best known for its gravestones. From 1890 to 1900, WOW's life insurance policies had a proviso that provided for the grave markers, free of charge for members. From 1900 to the mid- 1920's, members purchased a $100 rider to cover the cost of the monument. This particular one is outstanding, among the most elaborate I've seen, top of the line for these markers. See my virtual cemetery for more of these memorials.
