which was able and to the point,
encouraging the sons and daugh-
ters in doing their duty as citi-
zens and as descendants of Con-
federates; followed by C. F.
Dickinson in a masterly histori-
cal argument showing the right
of secession and that the Con-
federates represented states
rights and constitutional govern-
ment by consent of the govern-
ed; a speech by W. L. Hayley,
son of H. H. Hayley, during
which could be heard exclama-
tions of old soldiers, “I did not
know it was in the boy;” after
which Gen. Roach was called out
for the third speech which was
humorous and enjoyed by all,
and in which he paid a high com-
pliment to the Confederates of
the re-union in saying that he
had attended many Confederate
re unions and that this was the
first he had not heard some one
seemingly to apologize by saying
and report to the secretary. The
officers were to compose the ex-
ecutive committee of the associ-
ation. The nearest suitable,
available point to Miles Station
on the Concho river was chosen
for the next re union in 1902, and
the first Wednesday in August
as the day for the re-union to
commence and to hold two days.

interest in the welfare of the
camp. He was born in Cass
county Missouri on April 9th.
1840, and moved to San Antonio,
Texas, when only 10 years old
and from there to Hays county
about twenty miles south of Aus-
tin. After the war he engaged
in the stock business up to the
time of his death. His wife and
four children survive him.
The two following named con-
federate veterans, whilst they
did not join the comp, owing no
doubt to their remote residence
from its place of meeting, were
nevertheless sympathetic in the
cause and zealous in the welfare
of the camp, viz: C. B. Gray
who died in the early winter of
1900 near Crews, was a member
Co. A. 31st Ala. Infantry.
B. F. Goats died at his home
near Content, Texas, on the —
day of November 1900, was a
member of the Texas Frontier
Service. They were both

which he joined Capt. Graham s

Our report embraces only two
death of comrades who actually
belonged to the camp, and out of
115 there has been but four
deaths. This is a phenom inally
small percentum considering the
age of the veterans We should
be profoundly grateful for the.
blessings of life and health and
for the privilige of once again
meeting in pleasant re union. It.
is however a reminder to us that
the grim destroyer is abroad in
the land and that ere another re
union there may be those pres
ent now who will not answer at
roll call again, but will have
passed over the river and joined
the great throng beyond. We
should hold in our memory a lov-
ing recollection of our departed
brothers, emulate ther noble ex-
ample and cherish in our hearts
a fond remembrance of their
virtues. We earnestly request
that ail veterans furnish a state-
ment to the adjutant in order
that future memorial committees
may have proper data to guide
them in their duty.
Respectfully Submitted,

During the re union there be-
ing comrades from Concho and
Tom Green counties desirous to
come into the re union it was
thought advisable to organize a
Confederate Re-union Associa-
tion. to be known as the Colora-
do, Concho District Confederate
Re-union Association—the mem-
bers to include all worthy con-
federates, sons and daughters of
confederates, with a member-
ship fee of ten cents for each
male member, no fee for females.
All members will be entitled to
a re-union badge and to vote on
all questions. A large number
of confederates and sons came
into the organization and elected
the following officers: Maj. J.
W. Ratchford of Paint Rock,
president; Comrade H. H. Hay-
ley of Robert Lee, vice president;
Comrade H. D. Pearce of Ballin-
