Tree Stump Marker
Here's the promised photo of a nifty tombstone I mentioned yesterday. This stone, located at Lone Oak Cemetery in Stayton, is a Woodmen of the World marker, and looks remarkably like a real tree. Wikipedia says, "One of the most enduring physical legacies of the organization may be the number of distinctive headstones erected in the shape of a tree stump." [click here for more]
The person or persons who created this particular one were certainly talented, bringing all kinds of details and colors to it which I find remarkable, especially considering it's a century old (death date is either 1906 or 1908).

Great pictures. I like your design. I have added you as contact on flickr
I love this photo. I've always loved the old tree headstones in a grave yard in Arkansas where I have visited often.
