It would help to be sure of which State he would have been from - the State where he was born, or the State where he signed up for the draft, or the State where he enlisted or was drafted?

It is fairly customary among the military to regard the State of one's birth as their home State.

Also, be mindful, there are only about 35,000 or so names known to the battlefield commission and those are on the monuments they oversee. If memory serves there were about 165,000 American casualties in WWI, so the difference in numbers is significant, and it may be that he was buried, if at all, in some other cemetery.

I say, "if at all", because at times there are no remains to be buried... especially following heavy bombardments. At those times, I believe that a headstone can still be erected and a name inscribed on it if there was some official verification of the death.
