Additional Comments
Located in Section 32 of Oak Grove Cemetery and facing north, this monument consists of a stepped granite base (bearing the name “WOOD” in relief) from which rises a squared pier that is inscribed with epitaphs to members of the Wood family in each face with a decorative inscribed band of botanical detailing above. The cap of the pier is a pedestal with overhanging triangular hoods, the front-facing of which is ornately inscribed with a W and scrolling, botanical detailing. This cap serves as a base for an approximately life-size statue of an angel that is carved in a lighter colored stone than the base below. This somber figure stands robed with crossed arms supporting a long trumpet. The monument was installed at Oak Grove Cemetery as a memorial to various members of the Wood family, including Helen (Wood) Manville (1839-1912) who was a nationally known poet. Erected sometime between about 1880 and 1924.
