Additional commentary.
1. Orrie Nelson Harris (Sr.)
My grandfather, Orrie Nelson Harris (Sr.), was a WW1 veteran from Uriah; and his name is not on the WW1 marker. Orrie Nelson Harris (Sr.) is not to be confused with Orrie Nelson Harris (Jr.), whose name is correctly included on the WW2 marker.
I hope that Orrie Nelson Harris (Sr.) can be included on the WW1 marker.
