Inscription. To
Abraham Lincoln
from a grateful people

I do order and declare that all persons held as slaves within the States in Rebellion are and henceforth shall be free.

Let us here highly resolve that the government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from the earth.

With malice towards none, with charity towards all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us finish the work we are in.

Erected 1871.
