Here lie the remains of Capt. Wm. M. Skipwith of the Powhatan Rifles
A man and a soldier without fear and without reproach.
He fell at Rich Mountain July 11, 1861,
aged 48 years and 8 mo's gallantly leading his command and with his last breath calling to his men
"DON'T TURN YOUR BACKS TO THE ENEMY"
This monument was erected to his memory by the County Court of Powhatan.
