"The germ of the Grays grew out of the Higbee Guards, organized Feb. 22, 1907, and after attending reunions and gatherings, gala days, and numerous like occasions, on the 5th day of Jan., 1908, they changed their name to the Fort Worth Confederate Grays, for the reason that the latter name was more definite as to their locality.

The officers of the Guards and Grays are given first, followed by sketches of the members of the company as now enrolled.

The first name was for Mrs. Mary Belle Higbee, a lady bountiful, whose husband wore the gray, and who gave substantial aid to the Guards, and while they were thus induced to make the change in name, get they will ever entertain the highest regards and most appreciative remembrance of this of the mother of the organization."
