Colored Veterans
In May of 1901, the annual Reunion of the United Confederate Veterans was held in Memphis, TN. Because of its proximity to Holly Springs and Marshall Co., many had the opportunity to attend, who would not get to attend in other places. Railroads gave a special rate of one cent per mile to all veterans who had membership cards in a local UCV Camp. The following article was in one of the local newspaper issues encouraging veterans to attend.

A Word for Colored Veterans

There are among the colored people, not a few who rendered faithful service during the War, and they are certainly entitled to recognition and to share in the enjoyment of the great reunion. One of our citizens has already made up his mind to take his faithful man, Jack, to Memphis when the veterans meet, and no doubt others will do likewise. Some provision should be made there for taking care of them. They will never have the opportunity to look in the eyes of their old wartime friends and we want all to go who desire and can. Some of them have friends there of their own race, who will provide for them as best they can, and we hope provisions will be made for all who go, for they were true and faithful in the day and hour of trial.
