Guild Cemetery, also known as Pleasant Valley Cemetery is a well maintained cemetery with approximately 150 burials. We did noticed quite a bit of vandalism with numerous headstones pushed over.

To reach this cemetery, from Prague, drive west on Highway 62 (Main Street) 2.8 miles, then north on 3520 for 2.1 miles, then west on 1030 (Mule Drive) one-half mile. The cemetery is on the south side. This is a rectangular area with a few large trees, with the headstones arranged in low rows north to south.

This marker is a typical tree stump headstone which was lying on the ground at the time of our visit. It had been mounted on a base of six horizontal logs. There are two WOW seals shown. The round seal at the top of the stump shows a tree logo and the words Woodmen of the World Memorial. A second seal on the shield itself shows the crossed implements, and reads "In Memoriam Supreme Forest Woodmen Circle". All the lettering is raised.

The inscription reads:

H. W. Pickett
Aug. 19, 1858
July 12, 1932

Was the inscription legible?: Yes
