We Count It Death To Falter, Not To Die
In Honor And To The Everlasting Memory
OF
MARY "MOTHER" JONES, "GENERAL" ALEXANDER BRADLEY
And The Martyrs Of The Virden Riot On 1898.
When The Sun, In All His State,
Illumed The Eastern Skies.
She Passed Through Glory's Morning Gate,
And Walked Into Paradise.

For In Life You Sacrificed And Gave,
We Pledge To Fill Your Last Request;
"LET NO TRAITOR BREATH O'ER MY GRAVE."
