Hello, this is a custom Cold Spring Granite font named Monument Times New Roman, which contains some smaller differences to the letters, and a completely different set of numerals.
If you would like help matching it, feel free to utilize the Inscription Matching Service.
Good afternoon Kody, this is likely old hand-drawn lettering. If the 1921 date is when the memorial was made, this would have been done even before the old metal Spacerite letters were available, though there were some companies that produced physical alphabets before that, they were very rare.
Feel free to use the Inscription Matching Service if you would like help matching the date.

Good afternoon Renee. Unfortunately, I do not know the name of this font, but I have matched it on occasion, and I can tell you that it is a custom monument industry font, likely created by a manufacturer—possibly Rock of Ages. It also usually contains a different version of the 9 with no serif.
Unfortunately, this is not a font I am familiar with and after some searching have not been able to identify it. It is possibly custom lettering.
I believe this is a font named Arrus Bold. However, it looks like it may have been hand painted with lithichrome so the letters and numbers have been somewhat skewed.
I believe the name of the font for the date line is ITC Symbol Bold, which is different from the font used for the name.
This appears to be a font based on Filmotype Homer, one of the series of Filmotype fonts based on the same set of letters with varying weight, widths, and angles (Lakeside, Hemlock, Homer).
“Verve Script” is likely referring to the Gerber Omega font “Verve Mod. Conn. Acct. A.K. Rev. B”.
Hi Monica, I’ve seen this issue before, and it looks like incorrect settings on the plotter caused the letters to be deformed during the cutting of the sandblast stencil. The font used appears to be Goudy Bold or perhaps Extra Bold.
Hello, I believe this is one of the old Incimar CNC machine alphabets. It looks to be the Latino 221D1 alphabet with the narrower alternates for used for D, G, O, etc. You can see an image of the alphabet, here: https://www.incimar.com/en/alfabeti/
