Located in the Norway Township Cemetery 4.7 inch Gun Carriage Model 1906 built by the Studebaker Corporation in 1918. Serial number is 648. According to one source, only 98 Model 1906 guns were built during 1918, by the Northwest Ordinance Co. Madisson in Madison, WI. (visit link)

The small inscription "ILLINOIS - M" is found on the gun (although I am unsure of the significance of the inscription).

Today the gun serves as a center piece in a war memorial located within the Norway Township Cemetery. A plaque located at the memorial reads:
