One would like to think that the Woodmen erected this monument as a tribute to Mr. Cranford, and not because he couldn't afford a headstone. The family name, "Cranford", is on the plinth, and each flanking side has a separate inscription:
John W. Cranford
Born
July 28, 1859,
And Died
While a member of congress
from the 4th Texas District,
In Washington D.C.
March 3, 1899
Medora Ury
Wife of
John W. Cranford
Born
June 10, 1863,
Died
Oct. 11, 1898
Thy life was beauty, truth,
goodness, and love.
