This one is different from the usual model. It stands a little over ten feet tall, with a pointed cap with floral detail and the initial "M" right under the cap on each side. The family name, "Murray", is on the front plinth, while palm leaves complement the Woodmen Circle emblem. The inscription reads:
Mariah A.
Wife of
J.R. Murray
Born Nov. 3, 1869
Died Dec. 25, 1912
---
Large was her bounty and
her soul sincere,
Heaven did a recompense
as largely send,
She gave to mis'ry, all she
had a tear.
She gained from Heaven
(Twas all she asked) a friend
-----
It's easy to miss Mr. Murray's later addition on one side adjacent to Mrs. Murray's:
Nov. 26, 1867
Oct. 31, 1934
-----
The reverse is blank, but on the remaining side is the emblem of the Rebekahs, with an epitaph:
Peaceful be thy silent
slumber,
Peaceful in the grave so
low,
Thou no more shalt
join our number,
Thou no more our songs
shalt know.
Was the inscription legible?: Yes
