Tribute of Respect
[Talbot county]
Though but a few months have passed since we have been banded together, and
organized a company of Soldiers, yet we have thus soon been called to pay the last
tribute of our respect and esteem to the memory of a departed comrade.

Death has for the first time invaded our ranks and taken from us in the person of
Sgt Monroe W. Mathew, a companino whom we loved and respected; an associate who by
his unassuming and gentlemanly deportment had endeared himself to all; as a friend
he was warm hearted and constant; as a Soldier, courteous and respectful; as a man
truthful and honest. And though our brother's voice may never more be heard to
answer to the roll call of our company, and though his place may be vacnt in our
ranks; yet we submissively bow to the will of Creation's God believing that
"whatsoever he doeth, he doeth well.

Resolved that by the death of Sergt M.W. Mathews, the Scott Rifles have been
derpived of an able and efficient officer, and an esteemed companion.

Lt. E.W. Pou; Prvt W.A. Little, Pvt W.J. Raines, Committee
G.A. Miller, Jr. Secretary
