When I come to this, my last earthly resting place may it be said of me
In the rise from obscurity he served his country and the people well. He forsook
not his own kind. The common people he delt fairly with all men. His promises
were kept, his debts were paid.
There was also a little garden place near the front of the cemetery with this memorial in it.
