Phoenix Pioneer Cemetery contains the largest number of Woodmen of the World markers I've encountered in Oregon. I counted a good dozen and there may be a few more, so I limited my four submissions to the most interesting of the bunch.

This WoW headstone reads:

Wm T.
ABBOTT
Mar. 13,
1862
Oct. 4,
1906

HERE RESTS
A WOODMAN
OF THE WORLD

He had many children and siblings. It's amazing to think he was born 1862 and had a daughter in 1902 who lived until 2000!
Was the inscription legible?: Yes
