The adjacent Lonesome Dove Baptist Church served as an inspiration to author Larry McMurtry, who saw a church van with the name on the side while he was at an Oklahoma restaurant. And so, McMurtry's novel became "Lonesome Dove." This monument's inscription says:
Frank Ratliff
Born
July 18, 1867
Died
Oct. 1, 1914
