<b>In Loving Memory of William McCall
December 31, 1888 - October 23, 1917</b>
Then strew bright flow'rs on ev'ry grave
Wherein a hero lies,
And let the dear old banner wave
'Neath freedom's sunlit skies.
The first clear notes the bugle blew,
Were special calls to them,
And with the country's weal in view
They went forth strong, armed men.
Left fathers, mothers, sisters, wives,
And children young and pure,
And held as naught their precious lives,
That homes might still endure.
To them be honor, earnest, true,
And may we ne'er forget:
They died for me, they died for you,
Where hostile armies met.
Come, lay upon each grassy bed
A garland rich and rare,
Wherever sleep our soldier dead,
Let them this tribute share.
