“This monument was erected by the citizens of the county of Sumner to the memory of her patriotic sons who sacrificed their lives in defense of the flag of their country in the war with Mexico in 1846, 1847, and 1848.
Glory followed their train, and by their death was increased. Their fame is all that survives them. In their graves all their remembrances are buried Virtuous and esteemed in life, they have become glorious and immortal in death.
