A Woodmen of the World monument serves as a cenotaph for Private Ollie P. Kelley, in historic Rock Church Cemetery, southwest of Tolar, TX. The sculptor got it wrong when he noted the disposition of Private Kelley's remains.

The Woodmen of the World monument is a standard model, although it is less common to see one made of red granite. Unfortunately, the sculptor made a mistake and put "Burried" instead of "Buried". Private Kelley was a casualty of disease, and his cenotaph has a simple inscription:

In Memory of
Prt. Ollie P.
Kelley
