The rear reads:
[Broken Circle of Chain]
One by one Earth's ties are broken,
As we see our love decay;
And the hopes so fondly cherished,
Brighten but to pass away.
One by one our hopes grow brighter,
As we near the shining shore
For we know across the river,
Wait the loved ones gone before.
I could not find much information about Mr. Cummings except for his Union Army Service during the U.S. Civil War. He did serve the entire war; 1861 to 1864.
