There is a pedestal with a soldier holding his musket. On the front of the monument it reads:
"In proud and loving memory of the Confederate soldiers of Carroll county, 1861-1865.”
“Confederate Dead”.
On the left side of the soldier it reads:
“How sleep the brave, who sink to rest, by all their country’s wishes blest! By fairy hands, their knell is rung; by forms unseen their dirge is sung; their honor comes, a pilgrim gray; to bless the turf, that wraps their clay.”
On the back it reads:
"Erected by the Anne Wheeler Chapter #391 United Daughters of the Confederacy, April 26, 1910."
On the right side of the soldier it reads:
"Upon this altar of home and country, they placed the offering in fullest measure, of all they had to give."
