Inscription. W. A. Atkinson
Post No. 18 Dep't W. Va.
Grand Army of the Republic
1861 - Veteran - 1866
Appomattox. Yet loved ones
have fallen
and still where
they sleep
a sorrowing nation shall
silently weep.
And spring's brightest flowers with gratitude
strew
o'er those who once
cherished
the red, white, and blue.
To the perpetual memory of the
defenders
of the Union, 1861-1865.
Erected by the
Citizens of Hancock Co., May 30th, 1886.
