Below a slightly-damaged Woodmen emblem is "Marrimac Camp No. 3059", and there is this inscription:
Jasper, Son of
John & J.A. Jared,
Born Sept. 7, 1890,
Died June 27, 1914.
---
Although he sleeps his
memory doth live,
And cheering comfort to
his mourners give;
He followed virtue as his
truest guide,
Live as a Christian -- as a
Christian died.
--
Note the colloquial spelling for "Merrimac", which is no longer with us, and which has vanished from modern maps. It wasn't too far from here, to the northeast.
Was the inscription legible?: Yes
