World War I lasted from August 4, 1914 to November 11, 1918. The war ended the German Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Ottoman Empire, and the Russian Empire. The Treaty of Versailles was signed in 1919 and the war was officially over. This treaty severely punished Germany as the alleged instigator of the war.

Joe Maple was a great soldier from Rockport, Kentucky. This stat will give each of you a chance to let me know what you know about Joe. I have heard of Joe, but do not remember ever seeing him. I will tell you what I know about Joe and you can add to my knowledge or correct me if I have written any untruths.

Joe Maple was a veteran of World War I. I wish that I could have know him as I am sure that he was a great person. He was a brother of Claude, Midge, and Rube Maple. Joe Maple returned from service and married a lady named Grace. They may have moved to Central City. The consensus for now is that both died from a natural death and there was no children from the marriage. Feel free to add to this write-up and I will make additions or corrections.

See you.......
