Mt Hope Cemetery Continued

Sometimes the markers are simple (and broken). Others are much more elaborate.

Some follow a preset prescription for their design.

The Women of Woodcraft was a female auxiliary to the Woodmen of the World. For some reason, this is the first such grave stone we've seen.

And here we end out short journey through Mt hope Cemetery with a pause by the resting place of Daisy Ellen. She dies young (by our reckoning) but no doubt had a hard life leading to this untimely death (disease, childbirth, farm accident?). Like so many others here, the reward for a life well lived is much the same as that for any other.
