Clara Barton’s monument is the gratitude of humanity.
Boston (Mass.) Record.
Deeds, not stones, are the true monuments of the great.
Motley.
The grave, dread thing! Men shiver when thou’rt named; nature, appalled, shakes off her wonted firmness. Robert Blair.
An immortal hope was in her gaze and in her soul—in her life she did everything thoroughly. What more natural than that she should want to know her last resting place would be in order when the Master called? Rev. Percy H. Epler.
The monument means a world of memories, a world of deeds, a world of tears and a world of glories. James A. Garfield.
By desire and nomination of President Garfield, I was made President of the American Red Cross. Clara Barton.
Life’s race well run,
Life’s work well done,
Life’s crown well won
Now comes rest.
President Garfield’s Epitaph.
