Donated by Wanda Ridge 

The following article was published in the Lee County Courier in 1896 and listed eighty ex-Confederates and the units in which they served.

The Old Confeds:  According to instructions received from Adjutant General Cook, the old ex-confederates proceeded to organize a camp in the courthouse, this place, on Thursday morning.  The following officers were elected:  Dewitt Anderson, Commander;  G. W. Slaughter, First Lieutenant;  W. T. Derrick, Second Lieutenant;  A. S. Rodgers, Adjutant;  F. H. Govan, Sergeant;  J. P. Farrer, Chaplain;  C. T. Cathey, color bearer;  and J. J. Dozier, E. A. Boykin and J. H. McClendon, color guards.  The enrollment amounted to eighty names.  The name of Paul Anderson Camp was adopted.  The camp promises to be quite an active organization.  (Saturday, August 22, 1896 issue)
