Ivy complements the Woodmen of the World emblem atop the headstone, with the family name, "McCormick" on the plinth, and this inscription:

T.F. McCormick

Born Dec. 19, 1854
Died Oct. 30, 1907.

Farewell, my wife and children all,
From you a father Christ doth call.

His toils are past, his work is done,
He fought the fight, the victory won.

----------

Mr. McCormick was also a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, as noted on the back of the headstone by a medallion with their three chain links. The initials of their motto, "Friendship, Love and Truth", are still faintly legible.
Was the inscription legible?: Yes
