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 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.
