Inscription
(front)
In every relation of life
Son, Husband, Brother
and Friend
He was all that could be
desired and as an
Officer and Soldier
commanded
the admiration
of all who knew him.
(back)
They who for their Country die,
Shall fill an honored grave!
For glory lights the Soldier's tomb,
And beauty weeps the brave.
(poem by Joseph R. Drake, 1795-1820)
