This crude unhewn piece of everlasting granite is here to mark the resting peace of manly men. Men like it, firm, solid, true men who, in support of principle, uncomplainingly endured hunger, cold and privation which history cannot recrod 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 soulds of the tried men grouped about it will endured throughout eternity.
