Gen. McPberson's Grave at CLYDE.

The grave Of ore Of Ohio's noblest
and bravest sons is at this day un-
marked by even the rudost stone.--
The body of the great Mcpherson lies
in the Clyde Cemetery, but the spot
is only known by a small mound of
earth over rough head board.
Citizens Of Clyde, will you let the
body of him whom the nation loves
to honor, whose memory is dear to
every soldier, whose brilliant achieve
ments and unsurpassed bravery, call
ed forth the highest praise--will you
let him lie unhonored in a nameless
grave? Second to no man in America,
stood General Mcpherson, as c patriot
and soldier Shall we not honor
him? Clyde ought to be proud of him
and honor his grave with some lit
mark. What shall we have to say Ia
the stranger who goes to visit the
grave Of our great McPherson?--
