Inscription
Sacred to the Memory of
Col. Thomas Pickens Butler
who died in Richmond, Va., on the 21st of February 1862 in the 45th year of his age.
Having been in the service of the Confederate States from the commencement of the war for
Southern Independence. He was a Patriot of warm impulses and devoted fidelity. He was generous and brave, kind to all, and had few, if any enemies. He had his frailties,- who has not? May God forgive us all! He sleeps with his Fathers in Carolina soil, and we will cherish the memory of his nobler qualities.
Requiescat in pace.
As a tribute of love, this marble is placed over his grave by his Widow, Children, and brother William P. Butler.
