This crude unhewn piece of everlasting granite
is here to mark the resting place of manly men.
Men like it. Firm, solid, true men who in support
of principle, uncomplainingly endured hunger,
cold, and privation which history cannot record.
The sturdy men grouped about this rugged stone
died in The Tennessee Home for Confederate Soldiers.
This stone will stand the test of time.
The souls of the tried men grouped about it
Will endure throughout eternity.
