Bio.
This memorial was originally erected by the citizens of the 10th Exemption Board District in memory of those community members who gave their lives in the first World War. The memorial was added to in 1993 with flanking stones and new inscriptions and engravings when residents of the East Lovejoy Community rededicated the memorial to those community members who fought and died in all wars.
