No, these side-b-side WoW tombstones aren't for brothers, they are for a husband and wife.

What a difference 20 years makes in the styles of WoW tombstones. One tombstone is the treetrunk style, the other is a low monument style.
At first glance, the tombstones of William and Joe Graham, if you just look at the names, could be brothers. However, closer inspection reveals that the WoW medallion on Joe's grave is for the Woodmen's Circle, meaning that these are the graves of a husband and wife.
William and Joe Graham are buried in Cedar Hill Cemetery near downtown Ozona.
The tombstones read as follows:
"[WoW medallion]
William C. Graham
July 16, 1889
June 30, 1918
Weep not. He is at rest"
And in the next plot, the Woodmen's Circle tombstone of his wife, Joe:
"[WC medallion]
Joe Graham
June 6, 1895
Feb. 20, 1936"
Was the inscription legible?: Yes
