The I.O.O.F. provided a burial lot so that member J. A. Woolery's infant would not have to be buried in the potters field section of Eastside Cemetery. Sadly, the infant and 2 other Woolery's buried there do not have headstones.

Just a few months later J. A. himself would pass away.

Having access to the interment records and lot cards I obtained the following information:
Lot 474 - Woolery Burials
Deeded to IOOF Reno Lodge 99
.
Infant Woolery, 3 months old, died of Colic 2/10/1887, child of J. A. and L. E. Woolery.
E. A. Woolery, born 1844 in Ohio, died of Consumption, 4/16/1887 .
[I think E.A. was a recording error as this date coincides with the death notice for J. A.]
Mrs. Woolery, born 1850, died of Consumption, 9/3/1887.
[I can only assume this is the wife of J. A. due to the fact she is buried beside him. I could not find a death notice/obituary for her.]
