Private Andrew Thomas Appleby died of pneumonia, possibly brought on by the 1918 Pandemic, while serving in France during the Great War. He is buried with his family, his final resting place marked by a marble headstone with an accompanying planter. The family name, "Appleby", is at the top of the headstone, and calla lilies complement the Woodmen of the World emblem. Below the emblem is the caduceus, incorrectly used in the United States to denote service in the healthcare industry, but the usage has caught on and it continues to be confused with the Rod of Asclepius. The inscription reads:

A.T. Appleby
1895 -- 1918

Rest soldier, thy warfare is o'er

Was the inscription legible?: Yes
