Inscription.
[north side]C S A
To the
Confederate Soldiers
of Jasper County,
the record of whose
sublime self-sacrifice
and undying devotion
to duty, in the service
of their country,
is the proud heritage
of a loyal posterity.

”In legend and lay,
our heroes in gray,
shall forever live
over again for us.”
Comrades

[south side]”Crowns of roses fade,
crowns of thorns endure.
Calvaries and crucifixions
take deepest hold of humanity,
the triumphs of might
are transient,
they pass and are forgotten,
the sufferings of right
are graven deepest on the
chronicle of nations.”

Regarding Jasper County Civil War Memorial. Monticello Town Square, or "Courthouse Square," is a contributing property in Monticello Historic District, National Register of Historic Places #97000812.

From the National Register Nomination:
The United Daughters of the Confederacy purchased a Confederate monument from the McNeal Marble Company of Marietta. It was dedicated on April 6, 1910 in the center of the courthouse square.

In 1920, the United Daughters of the Confederacy planted four water oaks around the monument in honor of four local men who lost their lives in World War I.
