Located in the City Of Denton I. O. O. F. Cemetery, which was established in 1860. This grave site is located in the northwest corner of the cemetery. When I was there (early March 2018) there was a lot of maintenance being done in the cemetery: new signs, new fences, and work straightening and repairing headstones. This stone, though made as a broken column, had actually broken. Workers had repaired the stone, but as you can see in the pictures, the "splints" were still on to keep the stones together until the repair hardened completely.
