No matter what a man accomplishes, or how he uses his life, it will all someday be abbreviated in cold words upon a cold stone (if he was fortunate). Perhaps, sometimes, a passerby may stand at the Farmer grave plot in Providence United Methodist Church,
Holly Hill, SC and thereon read the epitaph of a man called Zach.
Let this inscription be upon my stone,
When to God's final call my soul has gone;
No lasting work may he have done.
No crowns achieved, no honors won;
But with clear purpose all could see,
To God he gave his loyalty.
His life and love he gave to Lee.
