Confederate Veteran-Captain of 35th Alabama Regiment Co. D.
Inscription on Stone:
“Angels! Pure and bright and fair
Take this dear one to thy care;
Angels! Ye who dwell above
Guard him with a breathless love;
He was here the purest best
Let him there be ever blest;
Here on earth a little whild
I have lived within his smile;
Angels! Now that smile is gone
And my heart is sad and lone;
This I ask and only this
Let me dwell with him in bliss.”
