A visit to our Mapleview Cemetery, one finds all types of interesting tombstones. I find the Woodman of the World style to always be interesting. They have many different symbols of tombstone art or Iconography on them. On the base of this stone are Ferns, Lilly, and Ivy. The Fern symbol means sincerity, Ivy is an evergreen vine and never dies, it stands for Friendship, memory and fidelity, the Lily of the valley, return of happiness, purity and humility.
This stone is for W. B. White.
