ALPHA AND OMEGA - Are the first and the last letters of the Greek alphabet.  Symbolizing the beginning and the ending of life. This reference appears in the Book of Revelation, where Jesus describes himself as the Alpha and Omega. 

Rev 1:8 - "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty."

ACORNS & OAK LEAVES -  Oak leaves on gravestones were very popular in the 19th & 20th centuries.  The mighty Oak symbolizes longevity, strength and power.  It also symbolizes eternity, as the Oak produces many Acorns that grow and turn into more Oaks.  

Below is a list of headstone and memorial symbols that can be found across the U.S. and their meanings.  MOST OF THE THESE SYMBOLS (ESPECIALLY MILITARY) ARE NOT FOUND IN GROVE, OK.  (This list is by no means comprehensive and interpretation of symbols may differ from one person or culture to another.)
