Marker gives the description of Confederate General PGT Beauregard's wife's dying beliefs about her husband's service.
The Marker text states
Caroline Deslonde Beauregard
Wife of Confederate General PGT Beauregard
1831- March, 1864
As Madame Beauregard lay dying in New Orleans, she yearned to see her husband once more, but his duties in the Confederate Army made his return impossible. She knew her husband could not be spared as a soldier of the South, and she resigned herself to dying without seeing him again. Madame Beauregard believed "The Country Comes Before Me". General Beauregard selected this sentimant as her epitaph when she was laid to rest in the Slidell Family tomb.
