Inscription

Was Killed in tje battle of tje Seven Pines near Richmond, VA. This gallant officer fell in a charge, he waved his sword over his head, exclaiming, " The battery will soon be ours" when he fell morially wounded, an immediately expired. The grave of the patriot is often the birthplace of civil liberty and national independence. This grave should remind all who look upon it of this impressive truth.
"I know that Thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all things." "How are the mighty fallen and the weapons of war perished."
