Confederate Veteran – September 1903

During the reunion of Hood County Confederate veterans at Granbury, Tex., in the early part of August, a movement was inaugurated to erect a ten-thousand-dollar monument to Gen. H.B. Granbury, whose remains lie in the Granbury Cemetery. Granbury Camp has the matter in hand, and appointed J.R. Morris and A. Baker as correspondents to solicit contributions to the fund. All Confederates specially interested in the movement should contribute of their means to this good cause. Gen. Granbury was one of the six Confederate generals killed in the battle of Franklin, and in 1891 his remains were carried to Texas, his native State, and reinterred at Granbury. A General Executive Committee has been appointed, comprised of Gov. S.W.T. Lanham, Col. J.Q. Chenoweth, of Austin, Gen. K.M. Van Zandt; J.D. Shaw, of Waco; S.A. Cunningham, of Nashville, Tenn.; Col. Stone, of Waco; Maj. John Y. Rankin, of Brownwood; W.P. Lane, of Fort Worth; and L.J. Caraway, of Granbury.
