Blasterz have seen many dozens of Woodmen of the World seals on these statuesque tombstones, but never one with a DOVE inside the seal, and the WoW name on a ribbon underneath. This one just seems to have been lovingly personalized to us. It is one of the most striking WoW tombstones we have seen.

The unique WoW tombstone for Robert Wilson Johnson reads as follows:

ROBERT WILSON JOHNSON
Born June 6, 1864
Died Nov 3, 1901

Sleep on Dearest Papa.
We will come by and
by. Your babies,
Ina and Ralph

Erected by the Woodmen of the World

Frustratingly, we can find out no other biographical information about this person whose marker is so wonderfully unique and whose epitaph from his children touched us over a century later.
Was the inscription legible?: Yes

Location of Marker/Monument: Cemetery
