Woodmen of the World Memorial
Woodmen of the World is a fraternal organization in the United States that operates a large privately held insurance company for its members.
Its colorful history includes the erection of numerous distinctive tombstones depicting tree stumps across the country before 1930
This was an early benefit of Woodmen membership, and the headstones can be found in cemeteries across the nation until being abandoned in the 1920s for being too expensive.
Many of the "tree" monuments stand 4 to 5 feet high and show sawed or broken limbs traditionally symbolizing a life cut short. Some are surrounded at the base by flowers, ferns or delicate vines winding past inscriptions cut on the main part of the tree where the bark has been peeled back or hewn away.
Dum Tacet Clamat is Latin meaning "though silent, he speaks."
