Text on front of marker:

These brave and noble sons of Fort Bend County, whose names are here enshrined, gave there lives in order that the people of this county might have a Just, Honest and capable county government and their fellow citizens have reared this monument to their memory and as a promise to them that their principles shall be maintained for all time to come.

Go stranger and to the Jaybirds tell, that for their country's freedom they fell.
