VIDALIA

TOOMBS COUNTY

To commemorate the l00th anniversary of the Sons of Confederate Veterans 1896-1996. This monument is placed amidst the graves of the unknown soldiers in the Mcmillian Presbyterian burial ground. The monument is inscribed with the poem "The Southern Dead" by Sgt. Benhamin R. Gormley of Brevard, NC. It reads:

The southern dead are sleeping in a thousand southern glens...
The moss and willows beckon with the breath of southern winds.
Through the blood-stained cross of St. Andrew is tattered now and furled...
They bore it high on every field and o'er every ocean of the world.
It wasn't through their failing that the gleaming turned to rust
and the dreaming of a nation is enshrined within dust.
Some would have their deed forgot. Their monuments swept away...
But while southern blood flows through our veins those knaves shall never see the day.
Teach our children of their story of battles lost and won...
They must keep memory's light a-burning till southern rivers cease to run.
The southern dead are sleeping.

Dedicated by the sons and daughters of the confederacy, and the re-enactors who strive to preserve its spirit.
