The monument was notable enough to be referenced on the Texas Historical Marker at the front of the cemetery:
In 1882, William and Cassandra Hunt Harvey donated land to the farming community of Blackland to be used for a school, church and cemetery. The newly created cemetery was combined with the George V. Bost family cemetery, which contains the burial ground's oldest marked grave, dating to 1879. Blackland Cemetery graves include those of veterans of military conflicts dating to the Civil War and features fraternal markers, a zinc obelisk and older, vertical stones. Today, the cemetery serves as a reminder of former residents of the Blackland settlement.
Date of birth (optional): 04/26/1834
Date of death (optional): 11/30/1880

Moses
Monroe
Louder,
Born
Apr. 26, 1834,

On the plinth is an epitaph:
Dear Husband, with a reverent hand
This to thy memory given,
While one by one thy household band
God reunites in Heaven.
The second panel says "Our dear father at rest," with a rose bouquet on the plinth. The third panel depicts an open Bible -- note the details -- above "Moses M. Louder." and another epitaph:
Dear Father, in earth's thorny paths,
How long thy feet have trod!
To find at last this peaceful rest,
safe in the arms of God.
The fourth panel says "Gone from our home, but not from our hearts." with a rose on the plinth.
