Caption: James S. Peden Tombstone
Additional Description: In Memory of
James S. Peden
Son of Robert & Jane Peden,
who fell mortally wounded in
battle near Atlanta on the 22nd
of July 1864. Died in McFerin
Hospital Ga. on the 26th
aged 43 years.
He occupied an enviable position
and was emphatically a good Husband
Son, Citizen, and Soldier.
As a Christian he enjoyed and
reflected that light which shineth more
and more unto the perfect dark
aspiring after a greater degree of
holiness, and in his dying hour
left a testimony worthy a good man.
Bereaved friends hear him as
he would say,
Oh! ye weary ones and lost ones,
Droop not faint not by the way;
Ye shall join the loved and lost ones.
In the land of perfect day. Amen.
