Regarding John's tombstone: Tombstone History
Joseph Root, Woodmen of the World, wanted to provide decent burials and gravestones for all members. One of his stated objectives was "to give honorable burial to our sacred dead." The gravestones were originally meant to have a uniform look, but over the decades that changed. There are markers made of stone as well as wood, ranging from the ornate to the very simple in style. Currently, the society provides Woodmen emblems that attach to existing stones as well as bronze markers.
