Located in a cemetery, this memorial at first appears to be a gravestone...but, the marker indicates that the Veteran is buried in France.
The Memorial reads:

"IN MEMORIAM
WILLIS DANIEL STORER Jr.
NOVEMBER 25, 1891
OCTOBER 3, 1918 THE ARGONNE
LIEUTENANT 107th F.A. U.S.A.
AT REST A.E.F.CEMETERY
ROMAGNE SOUS MONT FAUCON, FRANCE"
There is a Masonic insignia below the text.

No other information is available at the site..but, a 1901 quote attributed to a William D. Storer from Chicago in the Chicago Daily Tribune upon the ocassion of President McKinley's shooting reads:
“. . . if he recovers his life can be credited to modern advanced surgery and the fact that the operation was resorted to without delay.”
