Maysville Cemetery is located just south of the town of Maysville. On the east side of the cemetery, along the north-south driveway, this memorial was placed by the Hope-Nolatubbe American Legion Post No. 194.
The light gray granite memorial is about 6 ft. across at the bottom, and about 8 ft. across at the top. The American Legion emblem is engraved on either side at the top. The monument is mounted on a brick base approximately 30 inches high. A flagpole rises above the monument (no flag was flying at the time of our visit).
