The first time Blasterz saw this tombstone, we swear that the mallet was really a croquet mallet and the button in the center of the crossed handles with the axe was a croquet ball. We have never seen a Woodmen of the World tombstone with this exact arrangement of the traditional implements.
The tombstone reads as follows:
[WoW symbols axe, adze, mallet]
[WoW medallion]

Sept. 26, 1880
