Northwest face
What matter where the lifeless form dissolves itself again to dust.
'Twere sweet indeed to close our eyes with those we cherish near;
And wafted upwards by their sighs, soar to some calmer sphere;
But whether on the scaffold high, or in the battle van
The fittest place where man can die, is where he dies for man.
Erected 1871 by Ladies of the Walton County Female Memorial Association.
