OML ~Tree Stump Monument
This particular tree trunk stone
has a beautiful basket of flowers
sitting directly on top of it. Usually
they are flat or have a bible on top.
Quite often the tree trunk style was erected
by or for Woodmen Of The World.
**this is not necessarily so in this case

Why We "Don't" Plant Trees Or Shrubs
A Mistake Many People Make
This shrub is going to soon completely
surround this stone and probably ruin
either the foundation or the stone itself.
**The roots will crack the foundation
causing the stone to topple over.
**branches from the shrub will stain the
stone, of which most are not removeable.
**the roots can also ruin the foundation of
stones in the same vicinity
**this can prove to be a costly lesson

Yes folks, this is a grave site,
this tree has completely hidden and
grown around and over the upright
grave stone under it all.
**Fine example why we definitely
should not plant shrubs or trees in
our cemeteries.
** Stone will be destroyed in time if
the tree is not cut back or taken out.
