So many headstones in this cemetery are well-weathered, covered with lichen to a given degree, and in need of a good cleaning. This is a common model, with a large log atop two logs at the top of the headstone. The family name, "Edwards", is on the reverse plinth, while the Woodmen of the World emblem is at the top front. The emblem's tree trunk is visible, but reading the text around the perimeter is like Wheel of Fortune: "en of the Worl" and "oria" are the most visible, with "et Clam" visible for the motto. Below is this inscription:
Holl Edwards
Born
