HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE:

In a large plot near the outer boundary of Maury Cemetery stands a triangular 
granite monument on which is inscribed simply the word

ERECTED BY
ELLIOTT GRAYS CHAPTER
U.D.C.
1930

In this same plot, a few feet to the right of the monument, stands the only 
tombstone here – that of John Callan.  The inscription is given below.

Near here, it is said, are some three hundred graves which are unmarked and 
unidentified.


In Memory of
John Callan
Departed this life 15 July 1847
In the 25 year of his age
Remember, Friends, as you pass by
As you are now so once was I,
As I am now so you shall be;
Prepare for death and follow me.
