1. To Our Confederate Women Marker

Inscription.
To the Confederate women
Whose pious ministration
To our wounded soldiers,
Soothed the last hours of those
Who died far from the objects
Of their tenderest love;
Whose domestic labors
Contributed much to supply
The wants of our defenders
In the field, whose zealous
Faith in our cause shone
A guilding star undimmed
By the darkest clouds of war;
Them under all the privations
To which they were subjected;
And whose patriotism
Will teach their children to
Emulate the deeds of their sires

Erected by Hugh McCollum Camp 778 Aided by Grinstead Chapter U.D.C.
