description "Inscription written by his Commander, Gen. Andrew Jackson. Sacred to the memory of General John Coffee, who departed this life on the 7th day of July A.D. 1833. 'As a husband, parent and friend he was affectionate, tender and sincere. He was a brave, prompt and skillful General, a disinterested and sagacious patriot, an unpretending, just and honest man. To complete his character, religion mingled with these virtues her serene and holy influence and gave him that solid distinction among his fellow men which detraction cannot sully nor the grave conceal. Death could do not more than remove so excellent a being from the theatre he so much adorned in this world to the bosom of the God who created him and who alone has the power to reward the immortal spirit with exhaustless bliss.'"
