Our final stop is at the grave of William Harry Ryon.

Born: February 10, 1876, Indiana
Died: November 30, 1904, Indiana

He was the son of John Allen Ryon (?-?) and Amanda Pretsman Ryon (?-?).  I am unsure as to where they are buried.

I believe the he may have served in the Spanish American War, but I haven't found any information so far.  The time period fits though.
