This story was used in my English 111 (college) course. This should show how wise of an individual you are.

I found one of these today in Sumterville, Florida. This one is in good condition and in the shape of a tree trunk.

[...] ” Dum Tacet Clamat” “Though silent, he speaks” In cemeteries throughout the west, Dum Tacet Clamat is written on hand-carved gravestones paid for by an insurance company called the Woodmen of the World. In an era where people had no other form of insurance, they made sure that their ultimate resting place would have an appropriate marker.” (http://hughgrahamcreative.com/2007/04/03/dum-tacet-clamat/) [...]

This visual map is amazing. I’m looking on it near 20 minutes and it’s still amazing for me!

Great site! Thanks for sharing… Janis Edwards’ grandfather’s Woodmen of the World Memorial marker in the Sylvan (near Paris, Texas) Cemetery is on the above site… Not the best light, but his name was Holl Enoch Edwards… Neat story of his death (and life, of course), his young wife was pregnant with Janis’ father when Holl Enoch died, en route from Blossom to Paris (about 10 miles) with a ruptured appendix at age 32 yrs. 11 mos. 17 days…
Cheers,
Rick & Jan

I have photographed many Woodmen of the World headstones. Most are likened to a tree but there are variations. There was a time the organization would repair the headstones if needed but that has fallen by the way. It is a shame for they are unique. The first one I ever saw was at the age of 5 in a cemetery in Cherokee County, Texas…..my oldest grandson belongs to the organization now but they no longer furnish the headstones I don’t believe. Such a loss in this cemetery Shame on Denver City for taking the water rights and for not caring enough about a part of thier heritage to save it……

My daughter and I were taking a stroll in the cemetary at Watermerman Ave. in San Bernardino, CA. One of the graves of Roy. Jencks 1887-1917 has the logo Woodmen of the world Dum tacet climet memorial. I was trying to look up what it ment. It’s a rather nice round symbol with a picture of a tree in the middle. Although I can’t find any futher information on the Mr. Jencks, I was led to this web site for the logo. Thanks

Dear Historians, Fancy writing on Christmas Day! My small boy has just given me ” a necklace with a medal for Mom” something he bought at a local junk shop with his limited pocket money. Not knowing what it was I simply typed in the motto on the medal to see what it meant. One has to smile, it is a Woodman of the World medal and the “fancy rope” as my son calls it. is someones hair!!!!! I realise now it was a gentlemans watch chain. Is the company American and the watch chain has simply ended up in Australia?
