Civil War Martyrs of Newaygo County
 
"...It is for us, the living, to be dedicated to the unfinished work which they have thus far so nobly advanced. It is for us to be dedicated to the great task remaining before us, that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to the cause for which they gave their last full measure of devotion that we highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of Freedom and that government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from the earth."

...Abraham Lincoln, November 19, 1863
