"There are twenty-nine members alive of Company
F, Morgan's Second Kentucky Regiment. Of this
number, fifteen met at the home of their comrade,
D. A, Campbell, Memphis. May 28, 1901, and were
guests of his home during the reunion: N. W. Lea...
(captain), Clarksdale, Miss.; Houston Hopkins (first
lieutenant), Augusta, Ark.; D. A. Campbell (orderly
sergeant). Memphis, Tenn.; R. A. McWilliams,
George Finley, R. E. Dejarnett, H. C. Moore, and
'W. A. Jones, Holly Springs, Miss.; G. H. Black, LaFayette,
Ala.; W. C. Hamner. Water Valley, Miss.;
C. G. Sharp. Lexington, Ky. ; J. W. Cunningham,
Warren, Ark.; John Crump, Lula, Miss.; T. J. Ross,
Trion Factory, Ga. ; Hi Rodgers, Shreveport, La. ; and
James Sims, Nashville, Tenn.
This company was organized at Holly Springs,
Miss., with Thomas Webber is captain, and joined
John H. Morgan when he had only a battalion.
A beautiful souvenir was written for and dedicated
by Mrs. Belle W. Reid to the survivors of this company.
They found in Mrs. Reid's poem sentiments which awaken
the tenderest memories of our lives and bring back to us
the stirring days of our boyhood, when the smiles of
the grand women of the old South were the inspiration
to deeds of valor which placed her soldiers in
the front rank of the world and won the respect of
the patriots of all nations.
MRS. REID'S POEM.
Memphis is proud to welcome you, you gray and war-scarred
band. With homage true and reverence sweet, she'll take you by
the hand.
'Twill be a grand reunion, to some the last on earth,
But to feelings deep and tender this meeting will give birth.
O! if I were inspired what grand things I would say
About our Southland heroes, the men that wore the gray.
My heart is filled to bursting when I think of dark days past,
But brighter than the sunshine is the glory that will last.
For many unborn children will rise and proudly say:
"I'm descended from a hero, grandma's father wore the gray,"
And tender thoughts will fill our hearts as each old soldier dies,
To join the last reunion in God's home beyond the skies."
