Ethel - Out of Place Graves on Waymarking.com

Here is the dual headstone for William and Charlotte Moore. They reside in the Ethel Cemetery, which is located within the Rock Springs Run State Park. The cemetery also includes a marker for Luke Moore. his marker is in the shape of a tree stump, indicative of membership in Woodmen of the World - a fraternal society established in 1893 by Joseph Cullen Root. The emblem adorning the Woodmen stump, symbolizing equality and commonwealth, is the most commonly seen on member's monuments. Other official Woodmen symbols included a dove with an olive branch, which symbolized the peace of Heaven, and an axe, beetle and wedge which symbolize workmanship and progress of culture.

Many of the "tree" monuments stand 4 to 5 feet high and show sawed or broken limbs traditionally symbolizing a life cut short. Some are surrounded at the base by flowers, ferns or delicate vines winding past inscriptions cut on the main part of the tree where the bark has been peeled back or hewn away.
