The
Fort Worth Confederate Grays were formed in 1907 from the R. E. Lee Camp
158# United Confederate Veterans. Because an average of three
elderly veterans a week passed away, a need arose to form a unit for
military grave dedications. Out of approx 1200 members, two companies
were organized to fill this need. The Grays were a visible and
viable part of Fort Worth's early history. Many members were
pillars in the Fort Worth and surrounding communities as far as
industrial, political and educational fields. In the 1930s, the Grays
faded into the annals of history. We have, as descendants of the Grays,
the desire to continue their legacy and have dedicated ourselves to the
task.
