Individual marker:
JULIA MARIANNE

FERGUSON
Note: The stone is decorated with 2 feathers and a pentagon with RNA inside it, most likely a reference to the women's fraternal organization, Royal Neighbors of America. Founded in 1895 by a group of 9 Illinois women, RNA provided insurance products for women at a time when women couldn't vote or own property and were generally underserved. Now a non-profit insurance company serving both men and women.
