The shield on the pedestal says 'Firemens Fund association'.

From wikipedia (visit link) :
"In 1872, Fireman's Fund bought large lots for $500 apiece in both Mt. Elliott and Elmwood Cemeteries for the purpose of burying firefighters. In 1889, the Fund erected a marker at the site for a cost of $2,965"
