USN CommanderSacred to the (memory)USN Commander. Courage, feeling and truth marked his course. In the Naval Service he enforced the wholesome laws of discipline and in private life extended the open hand of charity. He loved justice and made the offender bow to its mandate, and was therefore persecuted, vindicated in the face of day. He was wounded in the dark and died at his post demanding reparation. Clouds obsure the evening of his day and he bore the hardest trials with out descending from the elevation of a manly character. Friendship mourned by his dying bed nor will the sense of their loss depart but with life from the bosom of them with canjugal and fraternal affection dress this tomb to his memory.
