Confederate
Soldiers
of
Jackson County Florida
Dear in their lifeless clay!
Whether unknown, or known to fame,
Their cause and country
Still the same-
They died - and wore the gray
who bore the flag of our
peoples trust,
and fell in a cause, though lost,
still just,
and died for me and you.
Erected 1881.
