This is a common model obelisk, with typical detail, and in addition to the funeral draping that wraps around the top, a wreath of roses wraps around the center. The family name, "Wolfe", is on the plinth, and the front panel reads:
Ada L.
Wolfe,
Died
Dec. 18, 1902,
Age 26 Yrs.,
2 Mos., 3 Days.

There is no other text, but the remaining panels have a sheaf of wheat, a wreath of roses, and an anchor. In the same plot is another zinc monument, a small one with a lamb on top. This is likely for her son, and they died within months of each other. One can speculate as to whether it was illness, or perhaps mother had a rough delivery for an unhealthy baby. Or both.
