[QUOTE="Moab Man, post: 187390, member: 11881"] Here is a Woodman of the World tombstone. The "broken" branches, I would call cut, may symbolize other family members. There is other WOW symbology on this one such as the vines. [ATTACH=CONFIG]48304._xfImport[/ATTACH] Here is the close up of the placard. It reads: [B]The monarch of the wood sinks prone The axeman's sturdy blows before While earth proclaims with echoing moan The strong tree will be seen no more. So when a Neighbors flickering lamp Goes out to kindle ne'er again. The cry of grief wails through the Camp And saddens all the tanks of men. [/B][ATTACH=CONFIG]48305._xfImport[/ATTACH] Various symbols of the "Woodman of the World" also interchanged with "Woodmen." [ATTACH=CONFIG]48319._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]48320._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]48321._xfImport[/ATTACH] And the logo for the wives of the Woodman: Women of the Woodcraft [ATTACH=CONFIG]48322._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
