Inscription

front: Thos. Dixon; right side: Gone in his youthful manhood fair, From scenes of earthly strive, Gone from all sorrow sin and care, To everlasting life; back: Gone before us, O our brother, To the spirit land! Vainly look we for another, In they place to stand; left side: Away from his home, And the friends of his youth, He fell like a soldier, He died at his post; Killed by the Indians at Stein's Mountain, Grant Co, Ogn.
