Long Cane Cemetery, Abbeville, SC
Additional Description: [North]: From humble birth he rose to highest honour in civic and military life. A patriot and a leader of men. In peace his country called him; he waited not her call in war. A man's strength, a woman's tenderness, a child's simplicity were his, and his a heart of charity, fulfilling the law in love. He did good and not evil all the days of his life, and at the end, his country, his children and children's children rise up and call him blessed.
