One hu ndred years of history of this County has passed. It is a wonderfu I history. So, we are assembled here today to relive in our hearts and memory the history of this beautiful County, as reflected by the lives of our forefathers, and the homes and places they established . We pay our loving respect to the memory of these places, which are full of years , and full of honors. These places were not established by our forefathers with no other ambition " than just to live in history." They were established by people like you and me . They traveled the dusty and muddy roads, they cleared the lands, built their homes, and churches, and raised their families, and fought to maintain their ideals, and left to us a society in which free people may pursue their destiny, according to their conscience and God's purpose in their lives. I am sure if each of our forefathers could say anything to us today they would say: " Life has been good; the spirit must be me That lives and loves and serves, eternally! " We can truly say that today the spirit of our forefathers does live , love and serve in the hearts of the people of Cross County. (Summation by J. L. "Sex" Shaver in his Civil War Com-
