This very simple memorial is located in an older cemetery just off a pretty busy road. The granite marker with a metal American Legion Shield dedicates a non-lighted flagpole in the middle of the cemetery right at the junction of two roads.
The marker reads:

Marker Text:

Description of Memorial:
This memorial is located in a small older cemetery that has some very interesting older headstones. Several Civil War and Spanish American War veterans and interred here. I literally passed by this memorial twice before investigating why a "headstone" was so close to the flagpole.
Wars mentioned (Multi-war only): Not listed
