Inscription: "O.S. Co B 3rd Batt. S.C.V. Born May 4, 1836 and fell at Boonsboro, Md. Sept, 14, 1862
Where he commanded his Company in the abscence of other officers. He is supposed to have died a few days afterward and to have been buried in the Rebels cemetery in Frederick, Md.
He was a dutiful son, an affectionate husband and brother friendly and affable to all and promised to be a useful citizen.
He died for the cause of his country the lost cause which he honestly believed was right.
If modest youth with cool reflection around,
And every opening virtue blooming round,
Could save a parents justest pride from fate
Or add one patriot to a sinking state
This speaking marble had not asked thy tear
Nor sadly told how many hopes lie here!"
