Nice granite, two-tiered monument located on the corner of the local courthouse. The monument rests on a red, roughly-hewn granite socle about a foot hight and then extends upward another seven feet, also of red granite, rough on the sides. The memorial is flanked by stone vases and all of this rest upon a concrete pad. The stone benches match the monument, although, they are polished. The entire site is a place of reflection.
