While the sign on the gate says "Westlake I.O.O.F. Cemetery", the historical marker across from it says "Roanoke I.O.O.F. Cemetery". They're both correct, as this cemetery was begun in 1897 by the Roanoke Odd Fellows Lodge No. 421, which was just to the north and now lost to the ages. Westlake is a newcomer, dating to just the 1950s, today occupying some land that was once in Roanoke's back yard.
This is the lone Woodmen of the World marker in the cemetery, well worn by time and the elements. The organizational emblem is on the plinth, while the inscription reads:
Sacred to the
Memory of
B.F. Hogan
Who Departed This Life
April 3, 1902
Aged 40 Years.
---
We only know that
thou hast gone
and that the same
returnless tide
which bore thee from
us still glides on
and we who mourn
thee with it glide
