appointed to prepare a memoir
ial on the death of Col. G. B.
Kilgore, beg leave to submit
the following:
Whereas: God in his mysterious
providence has seen fit to remove
from our camp, Col. G. B. Kilgore,
one of our beloved comrades, be it
Resolved, That in his death John
H. Morgan camp 1O7, U. G. ", and
the entire country has suffered an
irreparable loss. AS model citizen,
soldier and Judge he had few equals.
From the beginning OF the late war
until the surrender of our gallant
leader Lee, he followed the fortunes
of the Southern Confederacy with a
devotion that was sublime. He was
severely wounded in the battle of
gallantry displayed upon the battle
field was promoted to adjutant gen.
eral of Ector's Texas brigade, rank
| ing as lieutenant colonel. He was
captured during the war and con-
fined in prison at johnson island for
long period and while there suf-
ferred MANY hardshIps, when ex-
changed he again took his place
at the front and did active and gal
liant service until the cause he fought
for was lost. At the close of the war
he returned to his home in Texas,
where for a number of years he
practiced law, served several terms
in congress, and later as Judge of the
Southern district of the Indian Ter
ritory.
Col. Kilgore possessed and illus
trated to a marked degree all those
qualities that made the true South
erner a hero in both war and peace.
Regretting his death and mourning
his loss, we invoke peace to his ashes
and eternal honor to his memory.
Resolved, further, That we tender
our sympathies to his bereaved fam
lily and that the adjutant of this
camp be requested to forward copy
of these resolutions to them, and a
copy be furnished the ARDMoREITE
and Chronicle with the request that
they publish the same.
