This one is a bit different than the usual, in that traditionally, the Roman Catholic Church is not a fan of fraternal organizations not associated with them, so it's uncommon to find a Woodmen monument of any kind in a Catholic cemetery, let alone one with a cross on it. It's hard to tell if the cross was part of the original sculpture -- unlikely -- but it is well secured to the top of the monument. The cross has the "IHS" Christogram on it, along with some floral details. The monument itself is in excellent condition, and its inscription is:
Barret Raymond
Born
May 7, 1887,
Died
Feb. 20, 1911.
Was the inscription legible?: Yes
