In memory of the
Confederate
Soldiers
of

We care not whence they came,
dear in their lifeless clay!
Whether unknown, or known
to fame,
their cause and country
still the same -
they died - and wore the gray.

Text on west panel:

In God we trust.

Text on south panel:

Of the warriors tried and true,
who bore the flag of our
peoples trust,
and fell in a cause, though lost,
still just,
and died for me and you.
