Someone on our cemetery tour said "Look, a Woodman!" A flat reddish stone with the circular seal inscribed "Woodmen of the World Memorial - Dum Tacet Clamat" came into view.

I was hoping to find one of these one day. The guide said there were several Woodmen in Oak Woods(an apropos name)Cemetery .
A little reseach led me to this site:

“Though silent, he speaks”
In cemeteries throughout the west, Dum Tacet Clamat is written on hand-carved gravestones paid for by an insurance company called the Woodmen of the World. In an era where people had no other form of insurance, they made sure that their ultimate resting place would have an appropriate marker."
