Men of Greensboro and Guilford County
To the memory
of the men of Greensboro and Guilford County,
who fought for North Carolina and the Confederacy
in the War for Southern Independence.
1861 - 1865
These while in the prime of life,
fought, bled and died;
walking in the steps of Father
Abraham (Gen. 14:13-14)
in behalf of a lost cause.
While some of these in our church-
yards sleep,
others fill an unknown grave;
whether unknown or known to fame
their cause and country still the
same.
They died and wore the gray.
