While this type of arched headstone is uncommon, it's even rarer still to see the Woodmen emblem embossed on one, on the bridge that connects the two columns. The cap is broken off, the marble is weathered, but much of the detailing is still visible throughout, and above the family name, "Kelley", are their personal dates:
D.C. Kelley
Born Jan. 4, 1882,
Died Apr. 19, 1917.
A loving husband, a father dear
A faithful friend lies
buried here.
Sadie Kelley
Oct. 18, 1885
Mar. 24, 1957

Given the Woodmen of the World emblem, Mr. Kelley was the member of the organization.
