Section 28.51

ID # 280168

 

To the Memory of

Col. John Tipton

Born in Washington Co. Tenn

Died Oct. 8, 1831

Erected by Order of

The 49^th Gen. Assembly

 

How sleep the brave who sink to rest

By all the Country wishes blest

When Spring with dewy fingers cold

Returns to deck their hallowed mould

She there shall dress a sweeter sod

Than fancy’s feet have ever trod.
