This is one of two WOW markers we spotted in Park Grove Cemetery while driving through Broken Arrow. To find them both, drive in the east drive off of Houston St., and the graves will be on your right, not far from each other.
Text on marker:
Robert J. Kersey
Born May 7, 1892
Died in France.
Sept. 25, 1918.
As a private soldier.
This particular marker is about 4 1/2 feet tall, with the horizontal log on the top. The WOW engraving is fairly legible, and the text listing the name and dates is visible when you get up close.
Kersey is also engraved, in large and capital letters, on a bottom section.
We did not see any other incscriptions/engravings, or artwork.
Was the inscription legible?: Yes
