This memorial, located at the Township Building is of a standard type and is dedicated to ALL veterans of Quemahoning Township

According to Wikipedia (visit link) The township is home to 2,180 residents. It should also be noted that the article states that "In 1775, Quemahoning Township was organized, by the Bedford County Court, out of part of Brothersvalley and Turkeyfoot townships. At that time, it included the northern portion of present-day Somerset County and part of what is now Cambria County. Its size was later reduced through the formation of new townships. When Somerset County was established in 1795 Quemahoning was one of the six original townships." Further stated that "It is bordered on the west by Jenner Township, on the north by Conemaugh Township and Paint Township, on the east by Shade Township, and on the south by Stonycreek Township and Somerset Township. Quemahoning Township's eastern border is formed by the Stonycreek River and the north-western border by Quemahoning Creek, from which the township got its name. "Quemahoning" is an Indian word meaning "water issuing from a lick.""
