The inscription on the memorial reads:
Erected
In Memory Of
Julius G.E.C. Jeppe
The founder of Jeppestown
1893
Lives of all good men remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And departing, leave behind us
Footprints in the sands of time.
Footprints that perhaps another
Sailing o'er life's solemn main;
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.
