North Side
Brave men, who rallying at your country's call,
Went forth to fight - if Heaven willed, to fall!
Returned, ye walk with us through sunnier years,
And hear your nation say, God bless you all!
Brave men, who yet a heavier burden bore.
And came not home to hearts by grief made sore!
They call you dead and lo ye grandly live.
Shrined in the nation's love forevermore!
1865-1885
Marker is at the intersection of West Main Street and Church Street, on the left when traveling east on West Main Street.
