Description of Memorial:
The memorial stands on the north side of the courthouse grounds.
It is a very light color gray granite, and stands out rather well from the surrounding area.
It has been very well maintained, and looks like it has recently been power washed and the lettering has been re-inked.
All in all it is impresive to me.
