The Bois D'Arc Camp Number 28, Woodmen of the World, was organized at
Hope, Arkansas, shortly after Joseph Cullen Root founded the national
society in 1890. One of the benefits provided to members of the
organization was a distinctive tree-trunk-shaped grave marker. In 1944,
the Hope lodge was one of fifty nationally recognized for outstanding
fraternal and patriotic service.
