J.M. and Celia Morton have matching Woodmen of the World headstones. They are not the traditional tree stump variety, but are large stone tablets with inset tree stumps in the sides. They stand on two large stone bases, the top one of which is engraved MORTON. At the top of his headstone is a large horizontal log on which is engraved J. M. MORTON.
On the face of the tablet are both the seal of the Woodmen Circle and the seal of Woodmen of the World. The inscription reads:
