1. World War I Memorial
Inscription.

In Memory of
Lycoming Countians who made
the supreme sacrifice
May they Rest in Peace

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
between the crosses, row on row,
that mark our place; and in the sky
the larks, still bravely singing, fly
scarce heard amid the guns below.
From the poem "In Flanders Fields"
by J. McCrae
