This one has practically nothing to identify it as a Woodmen monument save for the dove with the "W.O.W." initials. One cannot necessarily assume it was placed here in 1893, although it certainly looks right for the period, but if it is dated 1893, this is a comparatively early effort for the Woodmen, founded in 1890. The inscription is:
In loving remembrance
of
William Wootten
Banks
Born
Aug. 12, 1853,
Died Oct. 19, 1893.
On the base is "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God."
Was the inscription legible?: Yes
