Woodlawn Cemetery is located on the south edge of the city of Claremore and contains 12,800 burials. We noted many WOW markers here.
This marker is unique in that the WOW seal is bronze and attached to the tree stump headstone. We have never encountered one like this before. The tree stump has a double trunk at the top, and stands on four large horizontal logs. Lilies and fronds are engraved on the logs, with leaves trailing up the tree trunk. The inscription reads:
W.L. Sallee
Husband of
Lillie Sallee
Dec. 13, 1874
Sep 28, 1906
