This grave is one of three family Woodmen of the World graves in the I.O.O.F. section of Fort Jones Cemetery.

The grave reads:

ERECTED BY
WOMEN OF WOODCRAFT
TO A MEMBER OF
WHITE MOUNTAIN LILY CIRCLE No. 489
DORA MAY
DAUGHTER OF
ANDREW AND ARIE WITHERILL
MAY 23, 1884
DEC. 20, 1905

WE KNEW THEE BUT TO LOVE THEE.
NONE NAMED THEE BUT TO PRAISE

This headstone is rare in the many I've encountered on the West Coast in that it lists the organization that the deceased was a member of.

Was the inscription legible?: Yes
