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.
May our country never feel the want of such heroes."
