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:
Born
Sept. 28, 1855
Died
Apr. 12, 1906.
--
As A Husband devoted, as A
father affectionate, as A friend
eternal and true.
