Paris, Tenn.–The Isham G. Harris Camp 109 Sons of the Confederate Veterans held its regular monthly meeting Tuesday night at Uncle Billy’s in Paris.
The chapter enjoyed a visit from Lt. Commander of the Tennessee Division Rich Garcia from Gainsboro, TN. He presented a program, “Blood on the Rio Grande-Tejano Confederates”.
Interest in the Isham G. Harris Camp 109 had fallen over the last few years but about two years ago local individuals began to seek to rebuild the camp.
Garcia, who is a descendant of Hispanic origin and who’s great grandparents served in the service of the Confederacy in Texas during the civil war, presented his program in period attire.
Individuals interested in keeping the memory of their ancestors alive who served in the Confederacy are invited to attend any of the open meetings held on the third Tuesday of the month at Uncle Billy’s. You can also find information on the Isham G. Harris Facebook page
