This monument stands at the small tabernacle visible from the main cemetery gate. For whatever reason, Mr. Graves got an upgrade to his headstone, probably having something to do with his wife's death in 1939, with a new stone's being created for both (although it looks to be a more modern stone). There is a photo in the gallery, and the newer headstone is near the fence at the west end of the cemetery. So, the beautiful old Woodmen monument that was created for Mr. Graves has a metal plate over the personal information, simply stating "Princeton Cemetery Association" and "Est. 1895." It is screwed into place, but obviously, the old vital information is still intact underneath. It says:
Wm. H. Graves
Born
Apr. 24, 1854
Died
May 25, 1906.
