The monolithic granite Joseph and Annette Scott Obelisk stands between 20 and 25 feet tall and, except for its ornate decoration, is very similar to others, probably of roughly the same vintage, in the cemetery. It is a large cemetery, begun in 1888. As of this date its 160 acres contains the graves of over 12,000 individuals.
