Fellow Woodmen of the World members and family of R.D. Moore (1884-1907) gathered to place his headstone, which was paid for by Moore’s fraternal Wow lodge. The lodge’s banner is being held up next to the marker, and members are wearing black mourning ribbons, mostly likely printed with Moore’s name.
The grave is located in Lathrop Cemetery in Lathrop, Missouri.

This appears to be a post mortem, but it’s actually a CDV of Susan Godsey, Tennessee’s “Sleeping Beauty”, who died at 31 after being in a coma for the last 24 years of her life. Her story is a fascinating one!
