 comrade was written by Comrade AL
 bert Bradley, of our post: Death loves a shining mark, And Moses Jones. although his skin was dark. Was loved by comrades of this post: His name will live; not in oblivion lost. Born in southern cline. He came to us before wars damning time; And stood with us to share our fate,
 A patriot from a southern state. | A comrade of our brotherhood, Firm as a granite rock he stood; He sleeps now in an honored grave, | Though he was born an humble slave.
 The little church has lost friend;
 He did his generous aid extend; | The earnings of his palsied hands, | Is felt abroad in heather lands. | He lies beneath our winters snow, | Death only was his mortal foe; | And comrades, we have lost friend. | Whose friendship death could only end | Farewell, thy order is. place rest; | No more within thy placid breast | The sorrowing storms of earth shall sweep,
 We, comrades, stay awhile to weep. | Our noble comrade will live on, | When all earth's fleeting years are gone;
 A blest eternity will roll 1 Ger that black man with white soul
