Excerpt from The Nance Memorial: A History of the Nance Family in General, but More Particularly of Clement Nance, of and County, Virginia
The Nance Memorial.
Come, walk with me, adown the aisles,
Of our ancestral halls,
And learn of those, whose hearts and lives
Were filled with love of God, and human love,
And crowned, by His grace.
Take pride, your ancestry was pure,
Of sturdy, wholesome stock,
That scorned a meanness, or a wrong;
A name which none could mock.
These pioneers, who left their homes, -
New fields, to till and try,
And dangers brave, and trials meet,
They made their mark, indellible,
And stamped it on the race,
Those yet to come, in honest pride,
To bear an open, fearless face.
Those who in this, the later day,
Are numbered in "The Line,"
And in the "Record" have a place,
Do here give thanks, and homage yield
Our brave ancestors - gone.
- Joanna Shields-Warren.
