John is an engineer, she is at home (not working). In the tombstone inscription book it states she had a "Women of Woodcraft" emblem on her headstone. This just means that she and her husband, probably John Sankey, were members of the fraternity "Woodmen of the World", and probably had their life insurance. You were given an extra $100 if you allowed the emblem placed on the tombstone. You did not have to be a lumberjack, or the widow of one.
