The base for this one has gone missing, leaving the monument in the loving embrace of a tree standing next to it. Some of the emblem is obscured, but it is still discernible. The inscription reads:

Andrew K.
Hood

Born
May 13, 1877
Died
Nov. 3, 1906

The epitaph is a little tougher to make out, but it appears to be "None knew thee but to love thee" or some variant. There is an accompanying modern headstone for Mr. Hood, providing the same dates but without the epitaph, and similar treatment has been given to his daughter, Eunice, buried next to him. Eunice's original headstone notes her as the daughter of A.K. and Texia Hood; if Mrs. Hood is buried in this cemetery, it is not obvious. There is a "Texie A. Buchanan" (1882-1970), but Findagrave provides no familial links.
Was the inscription legible?: Yes
