The two trunks are joined both at their bases and by a log, with the family name, "Welty", near their apices. The bases have ferns, and the Woodmen tools are weaved in around "Dum Tacet Clamat". The Woodmen of Woodcraft emblem appears where the bark is missing, on Luella's side of the monument. A board also connects the trunks -- note the detail on the screws -- and on the board are the personal details:
Alonzo Welty
1852/1900
Here rests a Woodman of the World.
Luella J. Welty
1861/1900
Erected by the Women of Woodcraft
Both of their Findagrave entries reference their fatal accident, and Alonzo's is here. (
