Inscription
On Chapel Street, south of this point, stood the home of Father Abram J. Ryan, beloved poet of the Confederacy.
"But their memories e'er shall remain for us and their names, bright names, without stain for us:
the glory they won shall not wane for us.
In legend and lay our heroes in gray shall for ever live over again for us."
"But their memories e'er shall remain for us and their names, bright names, without stain for us:
the glory they won shall not wane for us.
In legend and lay our heroes in gray shall for ever live over again for us."
