Located in the heart of Mountain Cemetery is the grave of Olaf Hanson. This WoW headstone may be the only one of its kind here. I was able to locate a walking tour guide of Mountain Cemetery that even includes mention of Hanson's grave and its WoW significance (download it here).

The WoW inscription was barely legible. The main inscription reads:

OLOF
EMIL
HANSON
BORN
Sep. 7, 1863
DIED
Oct. 26,
1906.

The WoW symbol is at the top of the headstone.

Was the inscription legible?: Yes
