Ashland Cemetery War Memorial - Ashland, OR - U.S. Revolutionary War Memorials on Waymarking.com

Ashland Cemetery is a pioneer cemetery and contains the graves of the oldest pioneers of Ashland. Located in the heart of the cemetery is an older multi-war memorial made of granite that reads:

A.D.                    1921 IN COMMEMORATION OF ALL WHO SERVED IN DEFENSE OF THE FLAG SINCE THE BIRTH OF THIS NATION ERECTED BY PATRIOTIC CITIZENS OF ASHLAND AMERICAN REVOLUTION CIVIL WAR          INDIAN WAR WORLD WAR

This is the oldest war memorial I've come across and noted for that fact with the mention of the 'World War' and not 'World War I'. Other wars are also etched in stone on the left, right and back side of the monument. Also of note is the fact that war memorials mentioning the Revolutionary War are uncommon in the West so it is a nice find to come across this memorial here in Ashland.

This memorial blends in nicely with the other internments here. Ashland Cemetery is also listed in the National Register of Historic Places. This cemetery is definitely worth the visit if you get the chance.
