Family monument:
Top: LEHMAN
Front:
JACOB F. LEHMAN
1848 - 1920
SOPHIA K. HIS WIFE
GEORGE T. THEIR SON
1875 - 1878
Individual markers:
JACOB LEHMAN
CO. A.
ILLINOIS
Note: Jacob's stone has sunk into the ground, covering the dates. There is a bronze marker next to the stone that may be for the Modern Woodsmen of America. The date 1883 appears at the top, and below that, interlocked initials V and S, and "SUVA". At the bottom is an image of a crossed ax and sledge hammer. It's pretty rusty and hard to read.
Individual marker:
SOPHIA
Note: There is no separate marker for George, just the inscription on the family monument.
